About

This editorial portrait for the project Tale Of Genji features a close-up profile shot of a woman adorned with vibrant red paint across her neck and shoulder, overlaid with delicate black calligraphy inscriptions. The subject is captured from the side, showcasing skin textures and the striking contrast of the painted markings against bare skin. In the background, a white wall displays dense black Japanese script, echoing the calligraphic theme of the composition. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the contours of the shoulder and arm. Photographed by Eric Hason for Photobook Magazine, the image emphasizes artistic body art and graphic textures.
