'Hot and Spicy, Pickled and Shiny' by Joshua Bentley

Mixing glycerin with water is an old stylist’s trick (spritz on for instant water droplets), but for this Belles Hot Chicken x Westmont Pickles shoot we went rogue and found a fresh pickling cucumber at Westmont’s factory then slathered the whole thing in straight. Up. Glycerin. At some point, Westmont co-founder Joel also scaled a giant pickle to get the shot. A Hot & Spicy day all ‘round.
