The Greatest Magazine The Symmetry Issue 2025

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a young man seated on a doorstep, exhaling smoke from a cigarette while wearing a patterned knit sweater and wide light-coloured trousers. Captured in a documentary style with high-contrast black and white grading, the image emphasizes texture in both the subject's clothing and the surrounding architectural elements. The composition highlights a contemplative mood as part of The Symmetry Issue for The Greatest Magazine, with photography by Paul Hempstead and creative direction by Edward James Lee.
