Harper's Bazaar Australia

Jan 2024

For 'A Beautiful Life,' Harper’s Bazaar Australia presents an editorial portfolio that frames high-fashion silhouettes against the classic architecture of Paris. The imagery leans into a cinematic, editorial aesthetic, juxtaposing structured luxury garments with the candid, kinetic energy of urban environments. Photographer Darren Mcdonald captures the series using natural light and analogue film techniques to create a distinct, high-contrast look. The collection balances moody, low-key lighting in interior settings with the clean, desaturated daylight of street-level Parisian scenes. Fashion styling by Teanne Vickers, hair by Christian Wood, and makeup by Harold James complete the visual narrative.
