Description

Fashion editorial photograph by Jialing Hu and styled by Wei Mao for Esquire China's project "A Letter Left in the Tropics". An East Asian female model poses centrally within an antique ceramics shop, surrounded by shelves and stands filled with ornate blue and white Chinese porcelain vases and polychrome jars. She wears an off-white draped top and a flowing dark head covering that cascades over her shoulder, forming an asymmetric sculptural silhouette. Direct flash illumination accentuates the intricate patterns and glossy glaze of the ceramic vessels against dark wooden cabinetry.
