Ayaka Nihei, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This portrait features a group of four diverse young men posed closely together across multiple overlapping polaroid-style frames and contact sheet layouts. Handwritten notes and the handwritten text "BOYS BOYS BOYS" are visible across the borders, giving the composition a raw, behind-the-scenes aesthetic. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting distinct facial features, short hairstyles including one with blue dye, and casual apparel like t-shirts and unbuttoned shirts. The background is a neutral studio wall. Make-up artistry by Ayaka Nihei enhances the candid and intimate mood of the editorial photograph.
