For their CANVAS project, Mirror Mirror Magazine explores experimental portraiture through a series of editorial features. The photography, led by Philippe Vogelenzang, focuses on high-contrast compositions and close-up perspectives. The series leans into a gritty and textured aesthetic, emphasizing intricate makeup artistry by Mascha Meyer. Through a clean vertical frame, the imagery showcases detailed facial work on models Jelle Haen and Ole Dautzenberg, highlighting the intersection of beauty and abstract form.
