Unfiltered Confidence
Added 2025-05-28 12:00:05 +0000 UTCI finished a new photo series that continues my exploration of American street style and Calvin Klein underwear aesthetics.
This time I added something new. I styled it with Gentle Monster sunglasses, a brand that’s been everywhere lately thanks to Jennie as their ambassador. What interested me was using the glasses to add a colder and more distant energy to the body, something that feels a bit more detached and unconventional.
To be honest, fashion photography has become very familiar to me. That familiarity can be a trap, where things start to feel repetitive. Same framing, same beauty, same mood.
That’s why I treat this space on Patreon as a place for experimentation. Here, I try out things that probably wouldn’t be approved in a commercial context. Overexposed lighting, messy details, unpolished rhythms, and body angles that feel raw instead of perfect.
These choices may not feel refined, but they feel honest. They feel free.
And I trust this space and all of you enough to share that part of the work.
上半年完成了一組新的街頭風格寫真，主軸依然是我熟悉的 CK 內衣與美式街頭美學。不過這次我加入了一個新的元素，就是最近非常火紅的高級墨鏡品牌 Gentle Monster。這個品牌因為 Jennie 的代言成為話題焦點，但我想嘗試把它放進一個比較冷感、有距離的視覺語境裡，看它會產生怎樣的張力。
其實老實說，時裝拍攝對我來說已經算是駕輕就熟了。
但也正因為這樣，有時候反而會覺得拍來拍去都很像，構圖、情緒、審美都好像在重複。所以我會趁著在 Patreon 的空間裡，嘗試一些在商業領域比較難被接受的手法。例如壓光、過曝、亂髮、身體的不完美、沒有經過過度設計的視覺節奏。
這些拍攝方式也許不夠「精緻」，但我自己覺得它們更貼近真實，也更自由。
也因為你們在這裡，我才願意把這些嘗試公開分享出來。
