Black Swan, an editorial feature for 10 Magazine, captures a series of character-driven fashion portraits set against expansive rural landscapes. Photographer Josh Hight utilizes natural light to frame models Sophie Patrece Embleton and others, grounding high-fashion silhouettes within organic, often moody environments of wild grass and dense foliage. The aesthetic leans into a grainy, analogue film quality, balancing intricate garment textures against stark, open skies. Fashion styling by Garth Spencer emphasizes volume and layering, ranging from sheer, floor-length gowns to structured leather outerwear and chunky knitwear. Hiroshi Matsushita and makeup artist Andrew Gallimore contribute a polished, austere beauty direction, frequently employing slicked-back, wet-look hair and neutral tones that complement the earthy palette of the shoot.
