Visual Tales Magazine

Apr 2025

Visual Tales presents Hikari No Yami, an expansive fashion editorial captured by Jakarie Whitaker for Visual Tales Magazine. The series leans into a moody, avant-garde aesthetic, defined by high-contrast monochrome palettes and the evocative use of analogue film techniques. Through a series of studio-based portraits, the work explores dynamic movement and sharp tailoring, utilizing long exposures and motion blur to disrupt the stillness of the frame. The editorial, featuring creative direction from John Tan and Blair Jaffer, centers on detailed garment textures and dramatic styling. The imagery is anchored by stark, directional eye makeup and layered, distressed suiting, creating a cohesive visual language that prioritizes form and shadow. This project serves as an atmospheric study in contemporary menswear editorial photography.
