Monochrome portrait of two models embracing against a textured concrete wall, directed by Ben Draghi

Ben Draghi, Director, New York

About

This striking monochrome portrait features two models posing intimately against a textured concrete wall, directed by New York-based director Ben Draghi. The figure on the left wears a loose white button-down shirt with dark piping and tall black leather boots, while the figure on the right is dressed in a striped button-down shirt and holds an unlit cigarette. The lighting creates stark highlights and deep shadows across their features, emphasizing the contrast of textures between the clothing and the rough background. The composition captures a raw, cinematic aesthetic with high-contrast monochrome grading.
