Description

Shot in black and white for GQ Portugal by photographer Frederico Santos, this editorial image titled After the Break captures a male model posing in profile against a textured studio wall. The subject wears fluid black wide-leg trousers and an open dark jacket billowing behind him, exposing his torso. Balanced diagonally across his back and shoulders is a long rowing paddle featuring bold chevron stripes along the blade. The composition relies on stark tonal contrast and sculptural, dynamic posturing.
