Schön Magazine Split in Two 2025

About

This editorial image captured for Schön Magazine's project Split in Two features a Black man playing billiards. He leans over a vibrant red felt pool table, holding a cue stick while lining up a shot. The scene is illuminated with low-key, dramatic lighting that casts deep shadows, highlighting the glossy pool balls scattered across the surface and the rich textures of the player's patterned shirt and trousers. Photographed by Lavina Solomonova with art direction by Iryna Li, the composition emphasizes the intense focus and moody atmosphere of the game.
