About

Photographer Mark Pillai captures an exclusive series for Numéro Netherlands, presenting a collection of fashion portraiture that explores form and silhouette. The work features model Karl Heinz Hirschberger in a sequence of minimalist studio compositions that lean into clean lines and stark tonal contrasts. Defined by a polished editorial aesthetic, the series utilises soft directional lighting to emphasise textural details, from intricate ink-style body art to structured sartorial tailoring. The collection moves between sharp, monochrome profiles and vibrant, composed frames, maintaining a consistent focus on the subject’s posture and presence.
