Beyond Noise: Jacqui Hooper by Craig McDean

Oct 2025

Beyond Noise features a series of fashion editorials captured by photographer Craig McDean, centering on model Jacqui Hooper. The project leans into a high-fashion aesthetic, utilizing clean studio backdrops and a blend of monochrome and crisp color palettes to highlight detailed textures in leather and denim garments. The styling, led by Karl Templer, incorporates utilitarian and rebellious elements, from studded leather to embellished sleeves. The project utilizes techniques including analogue film, chiaroscuro lighting, and desaturated tones to achieve a sharp, cinematic feel across the portraiture series. Hair styling by Anthony Turner and makeup by Diane Kendal provide a precise, polished finish to the editorial portraits.
