Description

This monochrome backstage photograph captured by Mark Pillai for ssstein S/S 27 documents the quiet moments of preparation before a runway presentation. A young male model sits shirtless in the center foreground, gazing directly into the camera with a neutral expression while a makeup artist applies finishing touches. In the foreground, professional makeup kits and brush holders fill the lower frame. The background is filled with other models and stylists moving through a busy backstage dressing area. The lighting is soft and ambient, characteristic of hurried dressing room environments, captured in a stark black-and-white aesthetic.
