The Pink Prince DELAWARE GAP 2025

About

This monochrome editorial portrait features model Matt van de Sande captured outdoors near a body of water by photographer Blake Ballard for the project Delaware Gap, commissioned by The Pink Prince. The subject is shown in profile, wearing a textured wool crewneck sweater with a hand resting softly against his chin. Shot in a natural light setting with a soft, moody aesthetic, the composition emphasizes subtle skin textures, freckles, and the tactile quality of the knitwear. The soft focus of the natural background creates a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.
