There is a kind of magic in the moments in between. The silence before we speak. The empty glass before it is filled. The uncertainty before victory or defeat. In our winter fashion editorial, photographer Lawrence Cortez captures the beauty and power found in spontaneity, in looking outside the frame and beyond centre stage. As model Charles Oduro walks the streets of Gastown, we see him immersed in contrasts as he wanders through cold, industrial spaces and warm interiors, shot with fluid ease in candid moments of transition.
