Description

This striking black and white portrait features two young men with long, voluminous curly hair wearing dark collared jackets, captured in a duplicitous or twin-like composition. Photographed by Laurence Ellis for Financial Times HTSI Magazine as part of the Cut Loose project, the image showcases art direction with styling by Julian Ganio, hair by Naoki Komiya, and set design by Georgina Pragnell. The high-contrast monochromatic lighting emphasizes texture in the hair and fabrics against a minimal background.
