Beauty Papers
Drive
Sep 2025
Drive is a series of editorial beauty portraits for Beauty Papers, defined by high-contrast lighting and a minimalist, graphic sensibility. Shot by photographer Davit Giorgadze, the project leans into surrealism and precise detailing, often employing diptych compositions to contrast macro-level textures with broader studio portraiture. The imagery explores a refined interplay of glossy finishes and raw skin textures, utilizing analogue-style film aesthetics and sharp flash illumination to ground the series in a clean, contemporary visual language. Fashion editor and stylist Vanessa Reid coordinates the aesthetic through structured silhouettes, while hair styling by Shiori Takahashi and makeup artistry by Thomas De Kluyver contribute to the series' polished, artistic tone. With additional contributions from set designer Emma Roach and manicurist Lauren Michelle Pires, the work emphasizes tactile details—from bold, neon-hued cosmetics and paper-cutout collage elements to minimalist fashion choices—to produce a cohesive, rhythmic editorial story.
