Dior Sauvage Extrait
Photography
Editorial and brand imagery for GQ Italia × Dior Beauty, centred on Sauvage Extrait for the September 2026 issue. George Kroustallis photographed the series and directed its visual treatment, moving between monumental product studies and close views where the bottle almost dissolves into material. Built entirely through practical styling, the dark glass vessel is set among translucent resin, real oud and selected natural ingredients from the fragrance. Severe low angles turn the engraved CD base into architecture; compressed macro frames let lettering, glass, organic fragments and trapped air surface and disappear through amber light. The series translates Sauvage Extrait’s chiaroscuro of noble woods into scale, refraction and physical tension. Selected images were also used commercially by Dior Beauty.
