New Zealand-based photographer Stephen Tilley joined forces with Esther Cornin from Clyne Models to create a stunning [black-and-white editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) exclusively for C-Heads.

Tilley and Cornin were joined by makeup artist Kathy Gould, who used [MAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-and-ella-gross) and Redkin products to achieve Cornin's gritty, femme fetale look. The clothing, provided by Jetset Bohemian and Stolen Girlfriends Club, complete the rough-and-tumble vibe. Still, even though Cornin is armed with messy locks, [smokey eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and a devil may care attitude, there remains an element of girlishness throughout the shoot.

In states of half-undress, Cornin flaunts her body and sensuality in a manner that's almost defiant; as if to say, while arching one brow at the camera, "what do you think you're looking at?"
