10 Magazine Harlem Renaissance 2026

Description

Captured by photographer Jimi Franklin for 10 Magazine's Harlem Renaissance project, this striking monochrome editorial image features model Ajah Angau Jok posing on a busy New York City sidewalk. The subject leans casually against a dark metal subway entrance pole while wearing a fitted V-neck top and a belted pencil skirt with sheer tights. In the background, street traffic, parked cars, and pedestrians create a classic urban atmosphere. The composition is rendered in a desaturated monochrome tone with hand-drawn illustrative scribble lines overlaying the upper portion of the frame. Fashion styling by Karen Binns, hair by Rei Kawauchi, and makeup by Roshar.
