Description
This editorial portrait series, COMPLEX X The Weeknd, presents a high-contrast visual study of the recording artist through the lens of photographer Holly McCandless-Desmond. The project spans several portraits that utilise low-key / chiaroscuro lighting and vertical framing to craft a cinematic atmosphere. The imagery relies on saturated colour palettes and technical effects, including multiple exposure, motion blur, and glitch-inspired VFX. These techniques are applied against moody, dark, and monochromatic backgrounds to emphasise movement and presence, documenting the subject in an array of contemporary attire.
