Marley Kate captures a romping duo of rich boys in the 'Ruffneck' editorial for the Ones2Watch. The series stars models Christopher Wetmore and Mateus Lages, following them as they carelessly partake in horseplay. The rowdy boys are adorned with high hip set fashion and heavy golden jewellery. The combination creates a sense of extreme rebellion, as if the boys are outright refusing to take over their father's accounting firm. The ornamental styling was done by Rose Garcia.
Photographer Marley Kate was born and raised in New York City. Kate graduated from NYU and went on to perfect her skills at the School of Visual Arts. Her spontaneous compositional style and use of bright lights lends the photographs a youthful playfulness. The sheer energy evoked from the photos is engaging and becomes more so with the incorporation of color and rebellion.
