Comte shot Grikaite in Paris, where he spoke with 032c about the different archetypes that served as his lens for Grikaite’s fashion images.

Comte has a known penchant for high-gloss 1990s fashion photo classicism, which he blends with dark Renaissance chiaroscuro and Stanley Kubrick realism for a history-steeped yet futuristic style that have led some in the industry to refer to his work as “generation-defining.” As we launched the latest issue of 032c, we asked him how he felt about this (for now) unofficial moniker.
