Sixteen Journal Cinema Issue 2025

Description

This striking close-up monochrome portrait captures a subject with dramatic dark eye makeup and deep lips, overlaid with a pattern of glowing white dots across the composition. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes texture and shadow across the facial features. Shot by photographer Joe Lai for Sixteen Journal's Cinema Issue, with hair styling by Tai Cheung and makeup by Cécile Paravina. The intimate framing focuses closely on the upper face, creating a cinematic and moody aesthetic.
