About

Paper Magazine presents a series of editorial portraits featuring actor Gillian Anderson, exploring highly conceptual and theatrical visual themes. The project employs a moody, low-key lighting approach across its varied compositions to emphasize stark contrast and character-driven silhouettes. The execution relies on precise styling and dramatic set elements, ranging from intricate textile applications to ornate props and costume pieces. Hair styling by Paul Jones and makeup by Amanda Grossman complement the deliberate, dark aesthetic, grounding the project in a refined editorial style that leans into chiaroscuro techniques and clean composition.
