Description

This striking portrait from the Aureus project for Acne Paper was captured by photographer Julien Martinez Leclerc with creative direction by Thomas Persson and fashion styling by Katie Burnett. The image features a male model wearing a heavily textured dark jacket with a structured collar and a matching cap, posed dramatically against the weathered stone tiers of an ancient amphitheater. High-contrast monochrome grading emphasizes the rich textures of the garments and the stony environment. The composition utilizes a vertical framing with deep shadows and strong natural highlights under an expansive cloudy sky.
