Description

Photographed by Lee Wei Swee for GQ France, this editorial beauty portrait from the project Cry Me A River highlights an emotional studio composition. The subject, styled with a wet-look dark fringe and bare shoulders, is captured in tight framing with eyes closed as a single teardrop runs down his cheek. Soft, diffused lighting illuminates his dewy skin tone against a minimalist white seamless backdrop. Hair styling was directed by Asami Maeda with makeup by Hicham Ababsa and fashion editing by Lisa Jarvis.
