The photo series titled Melancholia by An Le, a photographer based in New York City, is like the after hours of a circus act. Model Mackenzie Hamilton, with her pink wig and eclectically vibrant outfits, slinks away into the night for some somber solitude. Considering the single statement on the photographer's website, "Beauty and darkness inspire me," the photoshoot falls in line with his previous work beautifully.
Melancholia by An Le was styled by Ise White, who pulled a variety of different designs such as angular waist jackets, lace gloves and flowing silk gowns in order to achieve the level of elegant eccentricity she did. The modern and chic outfits were perfected with the sharp bob by hairstylist Elsa Canedo and full makeup by Johnny Gonzalez.
