Description

This portrait from the project By The Book for The Blend Magazine features a male model photographed by Ben Parks. The subject poses leaning against a decorative classical white column against a neutral grey studio background. He wears a textured olive tweed blazer with black lapels, an elaborate white ruffled ascot at the neck, voluminous pleated cream shorts, ribbed beige socks, and black leather shoes. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the detailed textures of the garments and the sculptural form of the column. Fashion direction by Sam Ranger, hair styling by Hiroki Kojima, and makeup by Marina Belfon Rose.
