For Your Viewing Pleasure: Contrasts

Welcome back to another installment of For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.

Playing with contrasts is not a new technique but it sure is a classy one. Experimenting with contradictory lighting, colours, and fabrics can make outfits pop-out. Visually, light exposures and the alternating dark and lit backgrounds make every photo shoot a work of art. Along with some funky lighting, the color palette also weaves magic when used appropriately. NCT 127’s shiny leather stands in stark relief with its neon yellow backdrop to capture the attention of the viewer. The clever use of color blocking highlights individual pieces in an ensemble while maintaining a cohesive look. Shin Min Ah’s yellow dress paired with a mauve bag is not the commonest of duos but it is definitely a successful one. Peruse the following photographs to enjoy the contrasting auras that envelop the image:
