Her Dark Materials
May 2025
Her Dark Materials is a fashion editorial feature for SCMP Style, centered on a series of portraits that lean into a stark, minimalist aesthetic. The project utilizes natural light and clean studio environments to highlight intricate garment textures and structured silhouettes. Featuring model Ryleabeth, the work explores a moody, desaturated palette through sharp styling and precise posing. Photographer Ricardo Beas leads the visual direction, capturing the subject against neutral backdrops to emphasize the interplay between dark textiles and soft lighting. The production features fashion styling by Aryeh Lappin, with hair styling by Chika F.K and makeup artistry by Tomoyo Pattou, whose work rounds out the polished, clean composition of the series.
