About

Photographer Theo Wenner captures musician Lorde in this expansive editorial feature for Rolling Stone. The series leverages a candid, intimate aesthetic, moving between structured studio portraiture and environmental shots that highlight the artist's process alongside production equipment. Creative direction from Joe Hutchinson provides a framework for the shoot, which utilizes soft natural light and film-style textures to cultivate a raw, nostalgic mood. Styled by Taylor Mcneill, the portraits balance architectural elements and soft-focus backgrounds with an emphasis on spontaneity and warm, neutral tones.
