About

For i-D 377, photographers Sean and Seng capture a series of editorial portraits that lean into raw, character-driven aesthetics. The collection balances clean, natural light compositions with high-contrast monochrome imagery to emphasize texture and form. Featuring model Carol Monteiro, the imagery utilizes candid framing and soft backlighting. Hair styling by Franziska Presche and makeup by Gemma Smith-Edhouse maintain a minimalist approach, highlighting the subjects' features. With casting by Bert Martirosyan, the project adheres to an analogue film sensibility that frames the subjects within a timeless, vertical editorial format.
