Captured for Self Service, 'The Statement' is a beauty editorial project featuring the avant-garde makeup artistry of Peter Philips. The series employs a mix of high-contrast black-and-white portraits and vibrant, saturated color photography to explore intricate facial adornments and graphic cosmetic design. Photographed by David Vasiljevic, the imagery utilizes beauty light techniques to highlight precise details, from metallic wire contours and beaded embellishments to complex glitter blocking. Hair styling by Olivier Schawalder complements the conceptual aesthetic, with model Ruben Pol appearing across multiple frames. The series emphasizes bold, structural compositions that lean into a polished and graphic visual language.
