Under the Brim: Quiet City Portraits
Editorial Portrait Photography, Streetwear
This set studies how a simple bucket hat shapes mood and presence. Color and monochrome frames are paired with shallow depth of field, soft backgrounds, and close angles to underline skin texture, fabric, and expression. Each subject meets the camera with a calm, self-possessed energy that suits the city pace.

Frames one to three move outdoors with candid energy. 1) Color close-up, olive hat, white jacket, angled gaze; the background falls into creamy blur. 2) Black-and-white under trees, upward glance, hat patch legible, round bokeh. 3) Monochrome sidewalk moment; smiling subject in glasses and logoed hat, diffuse daylight and a graphic tee.
Frames four to six turn moodier and more controlled. 4) High-contrast studio look, brim dropped low over sunglasses, fingers in a casual peace sign. 5) Back to color indoors, striped tee and square-label hat, relaxed smile with a soft houseplant behind. 6) The darkest frame; hands together in a prayer-like pose, hoodie artwork faintly lit, the hat rounding the silhouette.
