BIRD IN A WIRE by Russell Higton

Updated: Jan 21, 2020



In our latest beauty editorial photographer Russell Higton delights us with surreal images of model Cynthia Wrobel, artistically captured with dramatic contrasts of light and dark exposures inspired by Man Ray's iconic pictograms. These images are injected with colour to give a refreshingly modern effect which combined with makeup artist Anna Engvall's graphic eye details and the lights playful reflection on a self-made necklace the results are mesmerising.
