The Arkadius by Pawel Herman portrait series puts the model up-and-comer in the spotlight. Arkadius channels an edgy goth as he sports a short coif by hair stylist Bartek Kaminski along with heavy eyeliner applications by makeup artist Magdalena Nosal.

The model is dressed in an all-black wardrobe that is handpicked by stylist Sandra Bloch. From his shiny leather ensembles to his ornate spike accessories Bloch gives Arkadius a distinctive look that exudes edge.

The Arkadius by Pawel Herman portrait series shows off the young model's potential as the fashion industry's next rising star. The model takes on a vampy vibe, playing the role of rock-and-roll ruffian whose style is inspired by both punk rock and gothic imagery.
