Gritty Hallway Captures

The Maciej Swidnicki by Stanislaw Boniecki Portrait Series Sees Green

— December 27, 2011 — Fashion
The Maciej Swidnicki by Stanislaw Boniecki portrait series is photographed against a gritty setting that includes the rust-covered walls and narrow hallways of an aging building. The male model is outfitted in garments from Delikatessen's latest collection and looks ready for a night out. He sports classic menswear staples including fitted trousers, crisp plaid shirts, lightweight knits and easy to wear suited looks.

Maceij is impeccably dressed and accessorized to perfection with a cool coif by Emil ZED that complements his effortless styling. This raw portrait series juxtaposes the model's innocent persona and clean cut image with a backdrop of an unpleasant, aging and rotting building. Maceij poses alongside exposed pipes, surrounded by rust and walking on dirt-covered floors.

This shoot suggests that the model would rather spend his money on clothing rather than a nice place to live.
