Esquire Korea

Jul 2025

For the Jewelry 2025 project, Esquire Korea presents a series of editorial portraits and product studies centered on fine jewellery. Captured by photographer Go Wontae, the work leans into clean studio aesthetics, utilizing both soft beauty light and high-contrast low-key lighting to emphasize the craftsmanship of gemstone and pavé-set pieces. The series features model Emm Arruda in various configurations that prioritize the jewellery as the focal point, complemented by minimalist styling and makeup artistry by Grace Ahn. The visual approach shifts between high-key portraiture against neutral backdrops and macro product displays that incorporate organic textures, such as abalone shells, to contrast with the sharp geometry of the gold and diamond accessories.
