About

Sign of the Times, a fashion and jewelry editorial for Harper's Bazaar Arabia, presents a collection of portraits that lean into minimalist composition and graphic precision. Photographer Vladimir Martí captures the series with a focus on structured attire and intricate accessory detailing, utilizing techniques like hard light to cast distinct shadows against clean, neutral studio backgrounds. The project features hair styling by Jean-Luc Amarin and makeup by Anna Sadamori, who define the polished aesthetic through sleek, pulled-back hairstyles and radiant beauty looks. With casting directed by Elodie Yelmani and production led by Steff Hawker, the editorial moves between high-key monochrome visuals and vibrant, saturated jewellery displays.
