WE'RE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD is an editorial fashion project for Arena Homme+ Korea, captured by photographer Pakbae. The series explores youth culture through a collection of candid outdoor portraits that lean into raw, authentic street textures and urban residential settings. The imagery utilizes a clean editorial aesthetic, balancing natural light with soft and hard lighting techniques to define the mood. Featured talent including Jaeseung Kim and Mikiya Nakano appear in layered, casual styling that blends retro influences with contemporary pieces. The project employs a consistent vertical format, with several shots incorporating monochrome processing and analogue film techniques to emphasize a relaxed, playful narrative.
