By The Book 2026

Description

This portrait from the project By The Book for The Blend Magazine features a model standing against a neutral grey studio backdrop. Photographed by Ben Parks with fashion direction by Sam Ranger, the subject wears a black double-breasted suit over a patterned shirt and tie, complemented by loafers and holding a walking cane across the torso. Hair styling is by Hiroki Kojima, makeup by Marina Belfon Rose, and casting by Theo Spencer. The monochrome composition employs soft studio lighting to create clean separation and defined shadows.
