Description

This black and white portrait from the Akin to project for Present Space features two young models captured in a close, intimate interaction. Photographed by Andrew Jacobs, the composition focuses on two men wearing dark shirts against a minimalist light backdrop. One person's hand rests gently on the other person's neck, creating a quiet narrative tension between the subjects. The image employs soft, even lighting and a monochromatic palette that emphasizes facial contours and textures. Art direction was led by Juan Duque and Nima Habibzadeh, with styling by Marcus Cuffie.
