In this classic pin-up boy style photography, artist Mustafa Sabbagh beautifully captures pictures of model Lukas Bossert in a military-inspired editorial. Military fashion trends seem to be always popular in both [spring and fall collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea), and this may be the reason that the photographer went with this [sailor theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafarer-cotton-sweaters) for this black and white editorial.

And, although the model doesn't seem to be wearing much in these images -- some tighty whities, a pair of jogging shorts and a track suit -- the sexy, masculine appeal of these photos definitely helps sell the clothing. So if you're in need of some inspiration for that next [military fashion editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo) you plan on shooting, take a look at the work of a photographer who got it right with these stylized images from Mustafa Sabbagh.
