Paper Magazine Love Is Trending 2025

Description

An editorial portrait shot by photographer James Emmerman for Paper Magazine's Love Is Trending project with Editor-in-Chief Justin Moran. Two young men pose closely against a stark white studio backdrop. One subject wears an unbuttoned black pinstriped shirt revealing a bare chest and a large ornate silver cross necklace, paired with blue jeans. The other subject has bleached blonde hair and wears a white knit long-sleeve polo shirt with dark trim and a key pendant. Direct studio lighting brings sharp contrast and high-key clarity to the duo's early-2000s styling.
