Playboy: Six months after the end of the world

Nov 2025

Playboy's editorial project, Six months after the end of the world, explores a surreal, pastoral narrative set within expansive rural landscapes. Captured by photographer Cara Stricker, the production moves between high-contrast, low-key chiaroscuro scenes and bright, natural light tableaus to build a cinematic atmosphere. The series features model Jennifer Atilemile at the center of a conceptual, documentary-style ensemble. Styled by Hillary Taymour, the imagery utilizes earthy, desaturated tones and film-grain textures to ground the theatrical poses and rural setting. With hair styling by Adrian Arredondo, the work relies on a grainy, analogue film aesthetic and wide-angle drone footage to capture the scale of the environments.
