Tokyo-based fashion photographer Yanzhou Bao recently shot a series titled 'Amber, Amber' that incorporates deep blue tints with cyberpunk couture for a stunning effect.
Though many may guffaw at cyberpunk as passe, the point of photography -- even fashion photography -- is not always about being as current as possible. Rather, the aim is to create intriguing, enticing imagery, and this is precisely what Bao has done.
From twilight-shrouded couture to edgy coifs, the series is an unapologetic exploration of edgy fashion and lighting techniques. Some of the frames in the series look like they come right out of a sci-fi flick. No doubt, this is owing Yanzhao Bao's sweeping imagination and meticulous attention to detail.
