Welcome back to For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take the time out of the week to share some of the most recent fashion-forward photos tied to the K-pop landscape.

A photoshoot’s backdrop sets the mood for the entire piece. While a blank white or black set might be clean and undistracting, a beautiful and visually interesting background can give a photoshoot a certain character and atmosphere. Architecture from around the world features especially prominently in many shoots; stone edifices lend a sense of timelessness and grandeur to the fashion, while train tracks and staircases exploit lines of perspective to direct the eye through the photo. This week, let’s take a look at some great examples of architectural beauty working just as hard as the model.
