Soup's Colder Than December
Soup's Colder Than December
Stevie Wonder gave us Hotter than July, dripping in warmth, soul, and that golden-hour glow. But what happens when we flip the seasons? When the fire fades and the chill sets in? Colder Than December steps into the storm—bold, unbothered, and beautifully frozen.
Behind the lens? The visionary himself, Jalen "Soup" Sorrells, bringing the frostbite and the finesse. Since joining Seventy7 Magazine, he’s been putting in WORK—grinding, growing, and proving why he’s a creative force. This ain't just a shoot. This is a statement.
Frozen, but make it fire
This spread is ice-cold in the best way. The model stands like a lone warrior in the middle of a snowstorm, giving “I’ve seen some things, and I’m still standing.” Layers? Heavy. Energy? Unshaken. There’s a quiet power in these shots—the kind that doesn’t beg for attention but demands it anyway.
Soup’s camera captures the drama of the cold—the wind biting, the frost forming, the stillness in the air that says survival mode, but make it fashion. Every frame feels like a moment frozen in time (literally). You can almost hear the snow crunching under boots, the wind howling, the inhale of breath so sharp it turns to ice.
Breathe in. Exhale. Own the cold.
The styling? Unapologetically arctic. That fur hat? Legendary. The layers? A whole mood. The oversized coats, dark tones, and storm-ready gear scream resilience—like the cold tried it, but couldn’t shake the energy. And let’s talk about the accessories—rings, chains, and just enough shimmer to remind you that even in the coldest winter, you can still drip.
Soup's Lens, Soup’s Vision
Jalen “Soup” Sorrells is in his era. Period. Watching his work evolve at Seventy7 has been like watching a comet light up the sky. His eye for detail, the way he frames a shot, the way he tells a whole story through a single image? Yeah, it’s different. He doesn't just take pictures—he creates worlds. Colder Than December is proof of that. The way he plays with depth, contrast, and that icy blue palette? Chef’s kiss. He made winter look like poetry.
And let’s be clear—this is only the beginning. The growth? Unstoppable. The work ethic? Undeniable. The vision? Crystal clear, just like the frost on these frames.
Ice might melt, but legends don’t.
This isn’t just a shoot—it’s a moment. A reminder that even when the world goes cold, you can still stand tall, still shine, still become. And with creatives like Soup behind the lens, pushing boundaries, telling stories, and making art feel alive—the future is looking brighter than ever. Even in December.
Now tell me that ain't a classic.
