Tattooed rocker Axel Swan Maldini poses in this sultry shoot wearing simple men's fashion and staring intently into the camera. His dark green eyes smolder and he looks as if he's just finished a workout at the gym. His look is very modern punk with spaced ears, a colorful tattoo sleeve and a hairstyle that's buzzed at the back and long at the front.
The photographer, Migle Golubickaite, seems to want to draw in on the model's raw features like his unshaven face, dark, intense eyes and his creative emotive tattoo designs. Instead of decking him out in colorful garments, the stylist chose simple pieces to allow the model's natural looks become the center of attention.
This tattooed rocker's main accessory is his cross necklace. The religious icon is used recently in fashion but with the simplicity of this model's clothing, the cross seems to stand out as a symbol of value, rather than a simple accessory.
