Nov 2025

Playboy’s editorial project, Six months after the end of the world, explores a surreal, pastoral narrative through a series of cinematic tableaus. Photographed by Cara Stricker, the production leans into a raw, documentary-style aesthetic that blends gritty, rural imagery with theatrical composition. The work utilizes a mix of natural light and moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting to construct a distinct, atmospheric environment that feels both expansive and isolated. Featuring model Jennifer Atilemile, the project relies on deliberate staging and props—ranging from pitchforks and shovels to bows and arrows—to evoke a post-societal perspective. The production aesthetic is elevated by Hillary Taymour’s design and Adrian Arredondo’s hair styling, which contribute to the project’s cohesive, earthy visual language. The series frequently employs analogue film techniques and drone footage to capture the scale of the rugged landscapes and the varied interactions of the subjects within them.
