Sixteen Journal Cinema Issue 2025

Description

This striking monochrome photograph from the Cinema Issue of Sixteen Journal features a dramatic close-up composition where a heavily blurred hand reaches directly toward the lens. In the background, a single visible human eye peers out with intense focus, creating a tense cinematic atmosphere. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes deep shadows and stark highlights across the frame. Photographed by Joe Lai with hair styling by Tai Cheung and makeup by Cécile Paravina.
