About

Talking Heads is a fashion editorial series produced for The Greatest Magazine, spotlighting model Yaw Tiëku Appiah. The project explores a range of sartorial textures and structured silhouettes, from minimalist tailoring and knitwear to layered leather outerwear. Photographer Emre Grind frames the subject against a recurring backdrop of clean, geometric architectural elements. The series utilizes natural light to emphasize the grain of the garments and the nuanced expressions of the subject, incorporating techniques such as analogue film photography and multi-frame compositions to provide a graphic, rhythmic visual narrative.
