Performing Masculinities is a fashion editorial series for Fucking Young that explores contemporary identity through sculptural styling and high-contrast photography. Featuring model Levi Overvest, the series employs editorial techniques such as chiaroscuro lighting and clean studio compositions to examine the interplay between form, texture, and movement.
Photographer Dion Bal captures the subjects against minimalist grey backdrops and theatrical draped curtains, often incorporating elaborate beaded and feathered headpieces to punctuate the menswear-focused imagery. The work leans into a gritty yet polished aesthetic, with precise color grading that highlights the nuanced layering of garments and detailed textures.
