Dazed Magazine Māori Futures 2025

Description

This editorial image captured by photographer Erika Kamano for Dazed Magazine's Maori Futures project features two young boys outdoors, their bodies and skin covered in a layer of light grey mud. The boy in the foreground is seated on a wooden railing wearing dark shorts and red footwear, while the second boy stands beside him wearing metallic blue and white shorts. Both subjects display serious expressions against an atmospheric, hazy background featuring dense evergreen trees under a muted sky. The composition relies on natural daylight and creates a candid, observational tone that highlights texture and cultural context.
