Black and White Bohemia
Scruffy cool meets understated sensuality in this black and white portrait series featuring model Rune Kjelseth. Shot by photographer Nino Yap, the images lean into a relaxed boho aesthetic, allowing texture, attitude, and natural presence to take center stage.
The Mood
The series embraces a stripped-back approach, pairing soft lighting with raw styling to highlight Rune’s rugged features and effortless edge. There is a casual intimacy throughout the shoot, giving the photographs a candid, lived-in feel rather than a polished studio gloss.
Nino Yap’s Perspective
Photographer Nino Yap captures the subject with a restrained and thoughtful eye. The monochrome palette enhances contrast and mood, emphasizing form and expression while keeping the focus squarely on the model’s character.
Final Take
This black and white series is a quiet study in modern masculinity. With its bohemian undertones and natural styling, the shoot feels timeless, unfussy, and confidently undone.
