Description
This striking editorial portrait for HERO Magazine, part of the project Between the Downtown Air, features a male model photographed from the chest up. He wears a heavy, ornate metallic cross pendant necklace that serves as a central focal point. The lighting is moody and directional, casting soft shadows across his face and accentuating the sculptural quality of the jewellery. The monochrome color grading creates a timeless, dramatic aesthetic against the plain dark background, highlighting texture and form.
