Khalil Bayo, Model,

Description

A striking black-and-white editorial portrait captures model Khalil Bayo in sharp side profile for Esquire China's Color Field Play project, shot by photographer Xiuyu Chang and styled by Wei Mao. The subject appears bare-shouldered against a muted studio backdrop, drawing focus to an avant-garde white headpiece layered with dense, fringed raffia fibers. Intricate bead or crystal embellishments accent the upper eyelid and lash line, catching directional light that gently contours the face and neck. The high-contrast monochrome treatment emphasizes the interplay of raw tactile textures and clean, sculptural silhouette lines.
