Photobook Magazine Tale Of Genji 2025

About

This striking editorial portrait features an Asian woman with a sleek black bob and expressive dark eyes, captured against a white background covered in traditional black calligraphy. Her face is adorned with artistic white pigment and delicate calligraphic script painted across her right eye and cheekbone. Soft, even studio lighting accentuates the clean lines of her shoulders and the intricate details of her makeup. Captured by photographer Eric Hason for Photobook Magazine as part of the Tale of Genji project, the image blends contemporary beauty styling with classical literary motifs.
