Featured GQ Poland projects
This week's top GQ Poland projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project GQ Poland · Cillian Murphy
For this high-profile feature in GQ Poland, actor Cillian Murphy takes center stage in a sophisticated editorial campaign that strips away the noise to focus on raw, cinematic presence. Captured through the lens of photographers Tatiana and Karol and Tofjan, the series leans into a distinct minimalist aesthetic, utilizing natural light and stark studio environments to frame the subject with precision. The execution masterfully balances high-contrast monochrome portraits with soft, even-lit color frames, emphasizing Murphy’s signature facial structure and evocative gaze. Fashion editor and stylist Karolina Gruszecka curates a clean, understated wardrobe, favoring timeless staples like denim jackets and classic trench coats that allow the focus to remain entirely on the character study. The visual narrative flows between deliberate, static poses and candid, behind-the-scenes glimpses, punctuated by techniques such as a subtle motion blur effect and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. By stripping the background to uniform grey or white surfaces, the team creates an intimate, almost architectural portrait series that feels both immediate and timeless. With grooming details refined by hair stylist Gareth Bromell and final polish provided by retoucher Maria Bieluszko, the project functions as a masterful exercise in editorial minimalism, ensuring the final imagery serves as a definitive, high-end representation of the actor within the media and entertainment landscape.
Project GQ Poland · Cillian Murphy
For the latest edition of GQ Poland, photographers Tatiana and Karol have captured a masterclass in editorial portraiture featuring actor Cillian Murphy. Moving away from the high-octane saturation typical of mass-market spreads, this project leans into an austere, monochromatic visual language that prioritizes intimacy and character study. By utilizing a minimalist studio setting and soft natural light, the creative team strips away distraction to focus entirely on the subject, resulting in a series of images that channel a deeply cinematic quality. Fashion editor Karolina Gruszecka curates a wardrobe of understated staples—denim jackets and crisp t-shirts—that anchor the visuals in timelessness, while the high-key lighting approach accentuates Murphy's familiar, sharp features. The deliberate use of negative space and tightly composed profiles transforms these portraits into a cohesive study of quiet intensity. With expert retouching by Maria Bieluszko ensuring a flawless, tactile skin finish, the project oscillates between the polished perfection of a magazine cover and the raw, behind-the-scenes authenticity of a professional portrait session. Ultimately, this collaboration proves the enduring power of editorial minimalism, demonstrating how a pared-back aesthetic can capture a subject’s personality more effectively than complex set designs, cementing its status as a standout piece of contemporary media and entertainment portrait photography that feels both classic and distinctly current.
