Description
A close-up profile portrait from 'A Letter Left in the Tropics' for Esquire China, photographed by Jialing Hu with fashion styling by Wei Mao and hair by Xiang Zi. The East Asian female model is framed in profile, draped in soft, vivid yellow fabric that covers her head like a cowl and wraps around her bare shoulders. She wears an elaborate multi-tiered white pearl or crystal drop earring suspended from her earlobe. Soft, diffused natural light illuminates her cheekbones and freckled skin, set against a softly blurred, cool-toned background.
