Vogue Portugal's Animal Instinct project is a high-concept beauty editorial that explores the tactile intersections between the human form and the natural world. Photographed by Mario Kroes, the series utilizes minimalist studio lighting to bridge avant-garde makeup artistry with organic animal subjects. The work leans into a clean, graphic visual language, employing macro photography to highlight detailed textures such as intricate plumage and sculpted cosmetic applications. The editorial features hair styling by Darine Sengseevong and makeup artistry by Zaheer Sukhnandan, with casting by Christian Meshesha. The execution relies on a muted palette and soft, diffused illumination to maintain a consistent, pared-back aesthetic throughout the sequence.
