About

Beyond Noise Issue 3: The Beauty Story presents an experimental editorial series exploring the limits of portraiture. Photographer David Sims leads the visual narrative, employing techniques such as multiple exposure, motion blur, and cinematic lighting to distort and elevate traditional beauty imagery. The work leans into a raw, avant-garde aesthetic, alternating between high-contrast monochrome studies and vibrant, saturated color palettes. Creative collaboration defines the series, with hair styling by Duffy and makeup artistry by Lucia Pieroni forming the structural core of the portraits. The editorial features models Angelina Kendall, Bibi Breslin, Karolina Spakowski, Lara Menezes, and Noor Khan. Across the collection, the team balances precise studio craftsmanship with spontaneous, gritty energy, focusing on textures, color blocking, and sculptural makeup application.
