CUSTOM PARTS

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Black leather and metal spikes encase the entire face, revealing skin only in the narrow gaps between hardware. The spiked headpiece radiates outward with mechanical precision, each conical stud arranged in symmetrical rows, while taut leather straps cross the eye area like restraints pulled to their limit. Lighting is kept low and cold, throwing sharp reflections off metallic surfaces and confining the palette to stark black and white extremes. This editorial explores body modification and hardware aesthetics, presenting a post-human fantasy in which the human face is reassembled as if it were a collection of interchangeable parts. Models from AM Model Management are captured in a controlled studio environment, each frame composed with the rigour of sculptural architecture.
