Dazed Magazine

Dec 2025

Total Eclipse for Dazed Magazine serves as a masterclass in editorial fashion photography, pushing the boundaries of portraiture through a sophisticated interplay of light and texture. Photographed by Casper Kofi, the series moves effortlessly between the extremes of high-key clarity and the moody depth of chiaroscuro lighting. By utilizing studio strobe setups to carve out sculptural forms, the project leans into a minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes the interplay between the human silhouette and avant-garde luxury garments. Fashion Editor and Stylist Patrick Welde curates a selection of pieces that emphasize structural integrity, from translucent vinyl trench coats to textured wraps, ensuring each frame functions as a study in material contrast. Whether isolating a subject against a stark white backdrop or submerging them in a deep, cinematic shadow, the imagery captures a poised, graphic intensity. The collaboration benefits significantly from the meticulous beauty work of Hair Stylist Michael Delmas and Makeup Artist Lisa Michalik, who ensure that the focus remains anchored on the model, Libby, as she commands the space with an arresting, direct gaze. This body of work reinforces the editorial authority of the publication, transforming standard fashion portraiture into a series of stark, high-contrast explorations that highlight the narrative power of shadow, form, and precision styling in the contemporary luxury sector.
