"The cover of Kinfolk Issue Eleven: The Home Issue was shot by Maia Flore, a Paris-based photographer we love working with because of her interesting conceptual ideas and dreamy style. The cover image was part of Maia’s photo essay inside titled “Becoming Your Home.” After a long, cold winter, the image seemed to express that feeling of cabin fever, climbing the walls, sinking into the furniture. At the same time, the image has a warm color and a childlike feeling of play. The Home Issue was one of our more straightforward themes, but the photography displayed on our simply designed cover marked a change in direction toward more artful content."
I've seen this picture about a hundred times, and I've always loved this picture, even before I knew it was one of the best magazine covers of 2015. Kinfolk covers have a very minimalist design- which I like- and that style choice is reflected into this photo. Besides the model and the dollhouse, there is nothing in the photo besides the floor and the wall. The subject is centered, which results in it filling the space of the photo. The colors are mostly soft, primary colors and muted browns which is easy on the eye and gives the viewer a sense of the dreamy style that the photographer is known for. The surreal-ness of the photo and the fact that the viewer can't see the model's face reflects this dreamy style.
