HERO Magazine Liberté! 2026

About

This striking black and white editorial image, part of the Liberté project for HERO Magazine, was captured by photographer Sungmin Kim with fashion styling by Kevin Lanoy and makeup by Emilie Mattei. The frame features a model gripping a dark metal railing with architectural elements blurred in the background, creating a dramatic sense of depth. High-contrast monochrome grading emphasizes texture in the clothing and the stark lighting of the urban setting. The vertical composition offers a powerful study in form and shadow.
