Rolling Stone
Lorde by Theo Wenner
Jun 2025
Photographer Theo Wenner captures musician Lorde in this expansive editorial feature for Rolling Stone. The series leans into a candid, raw aesthetic, moving through a variety of studio and loft environments that highlight an intimate connection between subject and camera. Creative direction from Joe Hutchinson frames the entertainer across multiple settings, ranging from minimalist studio captures to scenes featuring music production equipment, including mixers and keyboards. Techniques such as analogue film, grainy textures, and soft natural light define the series, lending a nostalgic quality to the portraits. The fashion styling by Taylor Mcneill pairs casual, athletic-inspired silhouettes with ornate accessories, creating a grounded visual narrative that balances spontaneity with structured editorial precision. Hair styling by Jimmy Paul and makeup by Maud Laceppe maintain a naturalistic finish, while set design by Julia Wagner provides the clean architectural backdrop for the shoot.
