Drawing inspiration from Richard Avedon's iconic 'In the American West' series, Muru Studios partnered with Sergio Irisarri Hairdressers to create hairdressing portraits that merge the toughness of mining work with the elegance of modern fashion. Against a minimalist off-white backdrop, the hairstyles themselves become focal points—each reflecting the model's unique personality while invoking the raw authenticity of Avedon's original series.
