Elle UK: Heart and Sole/Christian Louboutin
Oct 2026
Elle UK presents Heart and Sole, an editorial feature profiling designer Christian Louboutin. The project explores the intersection of his personal aesthetic and the iconic footwear that defines the brand, captured through a series of portrait and product photography sessions. Photographer Otto Masters documents the designer in monochrome portraiture, contrasted against high-contrast, clean product shots of the signature red-soled stiletto heels. The imagery utilizes a clean editorial layout, incorporating elements of analogue film and monochrome techniques to isolate the texture and form of the footwear and apparel. Hair styling for the shoot is provided by Terri Capon.
