B Akerlund, Creative Director, Los Angeles

Description

This striking editorial portrait features a person with short blonde curly hair styled in loose waves, wearing a formal black velvet tuxedo jacket paired with a white shirt and dark bow tie. A vibrant red rose lapel pin accents the jacket, adding a bold pop of color to the monochromatic attire. The subject is captured from a low angle against a solid dark green background, creating a dramatic and moody aesthetic. The lighting highlights the texture of the velvet fabric and the facial features, including a distinct mole near the mouth. Creative direction is led by B Akerlund.
