Model Luke Baines stars in this dark shoot for the current issue of BITE magazine. Photographed by the lens of photographer Tanya Kechichian, these images feature the rising star posing in front of monochromatic backdrops with a more intense and dramatic use of shadow play than is generally used in fashion photography.
In one of the photographs, Luke even looks a bit like someone playing the role of American Psycho. Stylist Zoe Costello did a wonderful job pairing pieces with the dark concept for this shoot, using shiny, black outwear, geometric sweaters and suited separates to their advantage. She was assisted by Rosy Muto. So if you're looking forward to a spring that includes as many shades of gray as it does bright colors, then you need to see this selection from BITE magazine.
