Unemployed Magazine Path of symbols 2025

Description

Shot by photographer Jason Thomas Geering for Unemployed Magazine's 'Path of symbols' series, this editorial portrait interprets Card IX, The Hermit. A hooded subject stands in profile holding an illuminated vintage lantern, captured with a glowing high-contrast solarized monochrome treatment. The figure wears an oversized cowl-neck tunic, mid-length skirt, white socks, and dark slippers against a black ground. The frame is presented within a classic tarot card border featuring Roman numeral IX at the top and blackletter typography reading 'The Hermit' at the bottom.
