The Perfect Man Magazine: There was a Boy

Dec 2025

There was a Boy is a menswear editorial feature for The Perfect Man Magazine, captured by photographer Filbert Kung. The series leans into a cinematic and moody narrative, utilizing a mix of monochrome and warm, low-key lighting to explore introspective themes. Featuring a mix of vintage-style interiors and candid outdoor portraits, the work relies on chiaroscuro techniques and analogue-inspired film aesthetics. Styling details, including knitwear and ornate jewellery, are showcased through both hard studio lighting and soft, natural daylight. The composition frequently employs mirrors and architectural textures to build a classic, timeless atmosphere. With fashion styling by Junjun Ablaza, the project maintains a cohesive visual identity across its diverse interior and exterior settings.
