Harper's Bazaar UK: Portrait Mode

Nov 2026

Portrait Mode is an editorial fashion series for Harper’s Bazaar UK featuring actor Emma Corrin. The project leans into a painterly, theatrical aesthetic, blending classical oil painting influences with surreal, whimsical elements across a collection of vertical portraits. Photographer and art director Szilveszter Mako orchestrates a moody, gritty visual narrative that incorporates trompe-l'œil framing and textured landscape backdrops. The work is defined by a consistent use of earthy tones, warm lighting, and stylistic details like lace-trimmed linens and ornate, hand-painted borders. Fashion styling is led by Lisa Jarvis, with hair styling by Pablo Kuemin, makeup by Gina Kane, and manicures by Chisato Yamamoto.
