Dazed Magazine

Mar 2026

In a striking editorial collaboration for Dazed Magazine, musician Beabadoobee commands the frame through a series of intimate, raw portraits that strip back the artifice of music industry press. Captured through the lens of photographer Guen Fiore, these images lean into a sharp, minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes the subject’s natural charisma over ornate staging. By utilizing high-contrast studio strobe techniques balanced with the fluidity of natural light, the shoot emphasizes the tactile textures of Beabadoobee’s signature layered haircut, styled by Emilie Bromley, and the intricate, gritty details of her makeup by Ana Takahashi. Fashion Director Imruh Asha and stylist Giulia Revolo curate a visual narrative that feels grounded and contemplative, moving away from hyper-polished celebrity archetypes to favor a more vulnerable, editorial minimalism. The resulting portraits, marked by soft-focus compositions and clean backdrops, highlight small, authentic details like her botanical neck tattoos and freckled skin, creating a direct visual dialogue with the viewer. This project serves as a masterclass in portrait photography, proving that when the styling and lighting are this precise, the subject’s own quiet intensity provides all the narrative momentum necessary for a compelling magazine feature. The final collection remains timeless, echoing a candid, modern approach to editorial music media that feels both accessible and deeply refined.
