Description
This black and white portrait from The New Masculine project for ICON America features a male model styled in a collared shirt and striped tie, wearing a fitted cap. Photographed by Antonino Cafiero with fashion editing and styling by Keeley Dawson, the image employs dramatic lighting and high-contrast monochrome tones to create a moody editorial aesthetic. Hair styling was led by Takumi Horiwaki with makeup by Phoebe Taylor, casting managed by Carmen Young, and modeling performances by Alexander Acquah, Jesse Sachet-Dufraisse, and Oscar Young. The composition focuses tightly on the subject against a stark, high-contrast background.
