Description

This multi-panel editorial layout for the Openings project pairs outdoor chess-playing scenes with clean, studio-lit portraits against a white backdrop. Photographed by Julius Frazer with fashion styling by Zoey Radford Scott, hair by Takayuki Umeda, makeup by Mical Klip, and casting by Nafisa Kaptownwala, the series contrasts candid focus during tabletop games with direct portraiture. The subjects wear layered jackets and casual tops, showcasing distinct personal styles under natural and studio lighting conditions.
