The Perfect Man Magazine

Dec 2025

There was a Boy is a menswear editorial feature for The Perfect Man Magazine, captured by photographer Filbert Kung. The story employs a cinematic, introspective approach to fashion photography, utilizing a mix of monochrome aesthetics and warm, low-key chiaroscuro lighting to build its narrative. The project spans a variety of settings, from clean studio environments punctuated by hard lighting to richly textured, vintage-inspired interiors. Throughout the series, Filbert Kung emphasizes mood and atmosphere, often incorporating reflections and natural light to frame the subject in a timeless manner. The editorial leans into clean, polished compositions that highlight garment textures, such as intricate knitwear and metallic accessories, through the use of analogue film techniques.
