Interview Magazine

Dec 2025

In this evocative feature for Interview Magazine, photographer Teresa Ciocia and fashion editor Lana Jay Lackey craft a visual narrative that repositions singer Jessie Murph through the lens of high-fashion editorial. The portrait series leans into an aesthetic of calculated nostalgia, pulling inspiration from the 1960s to create a collection of imagery that feels both timeless and sharply modern. Across the shoot, the team utilizes a masterfully executed interplay between minimalist studio strobe lighting and clean, white backdrops, allowing the complex textures of Murph’s wardrobe to anchor each frame. From the intricate floral lace tights to the dramatic fur-trimmed cuffs and vintage-inspired tapestry prints, every detail is articulated with precision. Lackey’s styling choices, which range from structured satin bows to bold, star-adorned headpieces, transform Murph into a versatile muse capable of shifting from bouffant-haired retro glamour to the stark, architectural minimalism of a monochromatic pink set. The collaboration captures Murph with a direct, uncompromising gaze, creating a tension between the softness of the pastel pink and floral motifs and the sharp, grounded nature of the composition. By emphasizing tactile elements and deliberate posing, the project stands as a refined study in portrait photography, demonstrating how classic studio techniques can be revitalized to highlight individual artistry within the magazines, media, and entertainment sector.
