Seb Winter
Everyone’s imperfect. But to Seb Winter, that’s perfection. Odd expressions, crooked smiles, blemishes, wayward looks are his specialities. And in portraiture, beauty and fashion retail, where perfection is the industry norm, he proves that blemishes persuade.
Seb Winter
Seb Winter is a perfectionist at imperfections.
He takes crooked smiles, sly looks, blemishes, odd expressions and frowns, and crafts them. They are, after all, what make people, people. Their true labels. And when faults are hard to find, he adds them. Sprinklings of primary colours, brushstrokes, silhouettes, oblique shadows. Innovative ways to intrigue, catch eyes, turn heads and open minds in the world of fashion and beauty advertising. One where clichéd flawlessness still reigns.
Maybe that’s why he’s so sought after. While working between studios in Germany, and London, the world’s publications and brands are running after him. In search of reality.

In collaboration with the talent agency Models 1, the portrait series Bright Young Things seeks to challenge and redefine the widely held perception that models are merely decorative figures. The personal stories behind the faces endorsing consumer brands reveal a profoundly different perspective.
