For Your Viewing Pleasure: Charm with Shadows

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

Yes, the sun is out and shining, leaves are green, and the world screams color. Even so, there is no reason to tuck away elegant black outfits in this season. Learn how to charm with shadows and angles like Song Seung-heon and Red Velvet‘s Joy as they shield themselves from being seen in full. Jeon Yeo-bin and Jo In-sung do the same as they are partially cast in shadows. The contrast of what is seen and hidden draw the eye to the details of anything in the light, and make corners and angles sharper than usual. If you are seeking the perfect angular jaw profile shot or a touch of mystery to your style, try going for all blacks and play with lighting cleverly.
