About

Vanity Fair U.S. presents an editorial feature exploring the career of Ryan Murphy, captured through the lens of photographer Annie Leibovitz. The portrait session channels a theatrical, moody aesthetic, utilizing soft directional lighting to carve out deep shadows within a sophisticated interior setting. Featuring Sarah Paulson alongside Murphy, the composition leans into a rich jewel-toned palette, contrasted by a prominent surrealist background. The production incorporates professional hair styling by Adam Breuchaud to complete the editorial look.
