Description
This striking monochrome editorial portrait captures a young male model with dark, curly hair posing with his hands placed behind his head. Shot by Fabien Kruszelnicki for HERO Magazine as part of the project What Lays Beyond the Hilltop, the image features dramatic low-key lighting that sculpts the contours of his torso and face. He wears a dark strap detailed with ornate metallic buckles across his shoulder. The styling is by Steve Morriss, with hair by Lachlan Mackie and makeup by Samanta Falcone, casting by Edward Kim, and modeling by Luca Goodfellow. The dark, minimalist background emphasizes the high-contrast lighting and rich textures.
