Kinfolk Tree Hugging 2025

About

This editorial portrait for Kinfolk, titled Tree Hugging, was photographed by Daria Kobayashi Ritch with hair styling by Maranda Widlund. The image features a young woman wearing a fitted white short-sleeved top and holding a patterned fabric accessory, posed naturally among the textured trunks of large trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating soft shadows across the scene and highlighting the warm, natural colour palette. The composition frames the subject intimately between two prominent tree trunks, emphasizing an organic connection to the environment. The capture relies on natural lighting to maintain an authentic, observational feel.
