A visual expansion of an 8-page beauty editorial for V Magazine (Issue 165). Working with makeup artist Aaron de Mey, we developed a series of distinct character archetypes, each meticulously styled to embody a specific fragrance profile. 

The original photography focused on the intersection of character-driven portraiture and precise lighting, specifically the exact reflections captured in architectural eyewear.To solve for the constraints of a production day, I utilized a neural pipeline to capture motion that was impossible to film on set. 

Using Nano Banana 2 for Hitchcockian environment expansion and a custom ComfyUI (Flux/SDXL) upscaler, the stills were prepared for animation via Adobe Firefly. 

While the 2025 interpolation shows era-specific artifacts, notably in the complex glass reflections and bird flight paths, the study remains a significant milestone in preserving photographic craftsmanship within a generative workflow.
