Captured across diverse outdoor settings ranging from urban concrete staircases and city streets to woodland groves and wild meadows, the series leans into the aesthetic of analogue film. The imagery leverages natural light to create sharp, geometric shadow play against minimalist architectural surfaces, while softer, dappled light defines the more organic, pastoral compositions.

Project Crosscurrent · Cecily Brown
In a revealing editorial portrait series, photographer Senta Simond and creative director Clarke Rudick offer an intimate look into the creative world of acclaimed painter Cecily Brown. By stepping inside her workspace, the team captures the raw intensity of the artist's process, framing her against a backdrop of sweeping gestural brushstrokes and scattered sketches. The project expertly blends documentary storytelling with lifestyle portraiture, utilizing natural light to ground the subjects in a tactile, sunlit reality that highlights the material textures of both the environment and the clothing. From paint-splattered denim to the expressive layers of her abstract canvases, each frame emphasizes the utilitarian yet highly creative nature of the modern studio. The imagery leans into a minimalist aesthetic, allowing the layered complexity of the oil paint to speak for itself while maintaining a quiet, focused atmosphere throughout. By eschewing over-production in favor of candid, honest composition, the project functions as a sophisticated study of the artistic mind. With subtle contributions from hair stylist Junya Nakashima and makeup artist Alex Levy to maintain an authentic, lived-in feel, the collaboration captures the essence of fine art production within the digital media landscape. This series stands as a testament to the power of a disciplined gaze, finding beauty in the intersections of messy creative labor and the serene, bright stillness of a professional sanctuary.
Project Crosscurrent · A room with a view
In A Room With A View, Crosscurrent leans into a raw, introspective aesthetic that captures the intersection of high-end fashion and intimate portraiture. This fashion campaign, brought to life through the lens of photographer Krisztián Éder, strips back the artifice often found in luxury campaigns, favoring a clean and minimalist approach that centers entirely on the human form. By utilizing 35mm film and analogue photography techniques, the project achieves a tactile, authentic quality where fine grain and natural light become as much a part of the narrative as the garments themselves. The editorial work moves between high-contrast chiaroscuro compositions and soft, natural lighting, highlighting the structural precision of the clothing against the vulnerability of the subjects. Fashion editor and stylist Alex Harrington plays a crucial role in curating the visual language, blending structured tailoring with moments of unbuttoned, emotive spontaneity. Casting director Rachel Chandler brings a distinct, grounded energy to the series, while hair stylist Tamas Tuzes leans into natural, voluminous textures that anchor the cinematic feel. Under the executive production of Francesca Valente, the collection is unified by a sense of quiet reflection, creating a series of portraits that feel simultaneously timeless and contemporary. The resulting imagery is a masterclass in editorial minimalism, proving that when the background is simplified to its essence, the interplay of shadow and fabric speaks volumes.
