About
For the January 2025 FOCUS edition of Elle China, photographer Dalong Yang delivers an editorial portrait series defined by high-contrast lighting and precise composition. The project leans into a low-key aesthetic, utilizing a stark black background to anchor its clean, vertical layout.
Yang employs chiaroscuro techniques to heighten facial detail, contrasting sharply with the warm, polished finish of the beauty-focused frames. The imagery integrates bold typography, layering the FOCUS branding against the subject to complete the magazine cover design.
