Essence Magazine When Memory Meets the Moment 2025

Description

For Essence Magazine's editorial project 'When Memory Meets the Moment', photographer Quil Lemons captures a model seated on a hardwood floor in a corner surrounded by rich, dark wood wainscoting. Styled by Mel'Renee Leamon, the subject wears a textured brown tweed tailored jacket with prominent button closures paired with bleached pattern denim trousers. The warm interior lighting casts soft shadows across the wooden architecture and edge of a traditional patterned rug. Hair styling is crafted by Akihisa Yamaguchi and makeup by Mimi Quiquine.
