Embodying an eclectically elegant air, this Declan-John Geraghty portfolio update by photographer Darren Black shines a spotlight on the rugged model. The Supa Model Management face shows off an asymmetrical hair cut and full beard look that is synonymous with a [retro era menswear aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-brand-kestin).

The Declan-John Geraghty by Darren Black image series features a raw and candid set of portraits that capture the unique model in [black-and-white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). Donning a range of animalistic tattoo art, the edgy model holds effortlessly cool poses in a series of shirtless apartment shots that display his bull and bird body ink.
