Description

Captured for the GQ China editorial project 'BOYS OF SUMMER', model Lekan Bakare reclines inside an unpainted wooden boat surrounded by pond water and lily pads. Styled by Jiacheng Wu, Bakare wears a sky blue long-sleeved ribbed knit top and pale shorts, posing barefoot with his hand supporting his head. Photographer Effy Yu frames the scene from a high angle, capturing diffused natural light, organic wood textures, and the dark reflection cast upon the water's surface.
