Personal Work

Jan 2025

This personal skincare series by Tobias Delcroix explores an intimate, tactile approach to beauty portraiture. Combining macro photography with editorial sensibilities, the work centers on luminous skin textures, soft-focus botanicals, and a muted, cool-toned colour palette. The project leans into a clean, minimal aesthetic, utilising directional light to highlight natural facial contours and subtle material details. Tobias Delcroix directs the series with an emphasis on organic composition and physical textures, ranging from glossy lip finishes to exfoliating body scrubs. The imagery features styling by Aarthie, with hair by Abra Kennedy and makeup artistry by Sogol Razi. Set design by Kate Bull provides a consistent, atmospheric backdrop for the collection, while cinematography by Simon Plunket informs the project's cinematic, analogue film feel. Key techniques include macro framing, glossy light treatments, and deliberate use of natural and soft studio lighting.
