Description

Photographed by Jialing Hu for Esquire China's editorial 'A Letter Left in the Tropics', this tight portrait features a model centered against a saturated red accordion metal surface. Styled by Wei Mao with hair styling by Xiang Zi, the subject wears a distinctive black top covered in dimensional, petal-shaped appliqués. Natural freckles dust the bridge of the model's nose and cheeks beneath sleek hair with a fringe draped over one eye. The composition creates a bold contrast between the deep black floral textures and the vertical crimson ridges behind.
