About

Photographed by Jialing Hu for Esquire China's editorial 'A letter left in the tropics', model Yan Li poses in an open interior doorway looking out toward a lush green garden. Styled by Wei Mao, he wears a sleeveless dark green cable-knit top paired with wide striped bermuda shorts, strappy sandals, and a patterned headscarf while holding a notebook and pen. Natural daylight filters in from the courtyard, contrasting against the deep dark silhouette framing the room.
