Description

This editorial portrait captured by photographer Rodrigo Carmuega for Financial Times - HTSI Magazine features model Max Tate in a visually engaging styling demonstration. The subject wears a crisp light blue button-down shirt paired with an intricately woven light blue tie and a charcoal grey V-neck sweater. The lighting is soft and directional, accentuating the textures of the knitwear and shirting against a solid warm yellow backdrop. The composition is a tightly framed vertical shot focusing on the subject's upper chest and face. Styling was led by Aylin Bayhan, with hair by Kota Suizu, makeup by Eoin Whelan, casting by Piergiorgio Del Moro, manicures by Abena Robinson, and set design by Georgina Pragnell.
