About

In A Character Study, Behind the Blinds presents a masterful editorial portrait series that redefines the intersection of fashion photography and intimate personal storytelling. Featuring the iconic Alexa Chung as the central subject, the project channels a nostalgic, cinematic aesthetic that leans into the nuances of identity through a series of highly stylized, character-driven images. Photographer Ferry van der Nat captures Chung across various domestic and surreal vignettes, utilizing natural light to emphasize the rich, tactile textures of vintage wallpaper, damask curtains, and layered knitwear. The project thrives on high-contrast styling curated by fashion editor Jonathan Huguet, who juxtaposes delicate lace with bold, retro-inspired silhouettes and vibrant color palettes. Throughout the series, the visual language remains consistent yet varied, oscillating between minimalist studio shots and immersive, set-designed environments. Elements like 35mm film grain and carefully composed interior backdrops invite the viewer into a curated, semi-fictionalized world. Supported by the precise hair styling of Alexandry Costa and the nuanced makeup work of Morgane Martini, the series acts as a versatile showcase of character construction. By blending lifestyle reportage with high-fashion editorial rigor, the team creates a compelling visual narrative that feels both timeless and deeply personal, capturing Chung with an authenticity that pushes beyond standard portraiture to something far more evocative and intentionally staged.
