Description

Shot in black and white by photographer Avani Rai with creative direction by Dane Stojanovic, this image from The Ascending Dragon editorial for Grazia International features a model standing in front of towering bundles of stacked bamboo stalks. The subject wears a matching vertically striped collared shirt and wide-leg trousers while holding a very tall bamboo pole capped with an intricate woven cage spearhead. Set against a weathered wall with standing brooms and organic materials, the frame is dominated by stark vertical linework, high contrast, and rich natural textures.
