About

DEFINED Magazine marks its October 2026 issue with a series of cover portraits featuring actor Kerry Washington. Photographed by Rachell Smith, the editorial shoot leans into a monochromatic aesthetic, utilizing chiaroscuro lighting and a clean, neutral background to emphasize form and texture. Fashion stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi provide a sculptural approach to the portraiture, incorporating semi-sheer and dotted veils. The production is rounded out by hair styling from Miles Jeffries, makeup artistry by Allan Avendaño, and manicures by Sreynin Peng, maintaining a polished and consistent visual language across the covers.
