Description

This striking black and white editorial image from the project Aureus for Acne Paper, captured by photographer Julien Martinez Leclerc and styled by Katie Burnett, features a model seated atop fallen stone blocks amidst dramatic ancient architectural ruins. The high-contrast monochrome framing highlights the weathered textures of the stone and the dark silhouette of the structured garment worn by the subject. In the background, towering classical columns frame a bright sunburst that cuts through the sky, creating an intense focal point. Creative direction by Thomas Persson and casting by Piotr Chamier bring together a timeless, cinematic atmosphere in this outdoor setting.
