Description

Animal Instinct is a beauty and fashion editorial series for Vogue Portugal. Photographed by Mario Kroes, the project explores the intersection of human and avian form through a minimalist lens. Each frame is defined by high-key, soft studio lighting and clean, seamless backdrops. The series features macro beauty portraits and avian studies, utilizing textured graphic makeup and hair styling. The execution relies on a minimalist aesthetic to highlight tactile details, from the plumage of birds to the precision of false lashes and high-shine hair. The creative team includes hair stylist Darine Sengseevong, makeup artist Zaheer Sukhnandan, and casting director Christian Meshesha.
