Project Icon Magazine Australia · On The Road
For Icon Magazine Australia’s 'On The Road' project, photographer Jake Terrey delivers a transportive fashion editorial that leans into the grit and vastness of the open landscape. Moving between desolate industrial yards and sweeping coastal stretches, the series anchors its narrative in the textures of travel—rugged leather, structured trench coats, and patterned tailoring set against a backdrop of asphalt, sand, and heavy, overcast skies. Working with fashion stylist Kim Payne and hair stylist Mikele Simone, Terrey employs a distinctively tactile visual language. The project captures the interplay between the human form and mechanical silhouettes, utilising the high-contrast drama of monochrome film and the atmospheric warmth of natural light during the golden hour to emphasise a cinematic, documentary-style sensibility. The result is a series that captures a sense of solitude and transit, defined by clean lines and an analogue, grainy aesthetic.
Project Icon Magazine Australia · Pressed
Pressed, an editorial feature for Icon Magazine Australia, explores the intersection of high-end tailoring and industrial utility. Photographed by Julian Schulz, the series captures a dialogue between sharp menswear and the raw, mechanical environment of a commercial printing facility. Fashion styling by Kim Payne and grooming by Mikele Simone define the aesthetic, juxtaposing structured overcoats, patterned suits, and textured fabrics against a gritty backdrop of heavy machinery, stacked paper stock, and warehouse infrastructure. The imagery leans into a documentary-style, monochrome look, utilizing natural light and visible film grain to heighten the tactile quality of both the garments and the industrial setting.
Project Icon Magazine Australia · This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Icon Magazine Australia presents 'This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things,' a jewellery editorial that juxtaposes the permanence of luxury goods with the fragility of shattered glass. Creative director Haya Al-Sharif and photographer Cameron Bensley orchestrate a series of minimalist compositions, using sharp directional lighting to draw out the contrasting textures of polished metal and fractured crystal. Techniques such as macro framing and high-contrast chiaroscuro highlight the intricate details of gold chains, diamond tennis bracelets, and luxury timepieces. The project maintains a clean, architectural aesthetic, focusing on the tension between precise craftsmanship and the chaotic geometry of broken shards.
Project Icon Magazine Australia · Smokeshow
Smokeshow is a high-octane fashion editorial project for Icon Magazine Australia that masterfully intersects contemporary street style with the gritty, mechanical world of automotive culture. Photographed by Simon Davidson, the series leans into a cinematic, moody aesthetic, utilising analogue film techniques to capture the raw energy of performance cars and drifting at a local track. The imagery channels a distinct retro-industrial mood through a combination of low-key chiaroscuro lighting and desaturated palettes. Throughout the series, fashion styling by Kim Payne serves as a focal point, pairing patterned streetwear and metallic textures against the backdrop of billowing smoke, vintage muscle cars, and overcast asphalt paddocks. Additional production credits include digital operation by David Deas and videography by Stream Dulnoan Peña.
Project Icon Magazine Australia · Waiting Room
Waiting Room is an expansive fashion editorial for Icon Magazine Australia that examines the intersection of contemporary menswear and structural design. Through a series of carefully composed portraits, the project leans into themes of stillness and contemplation, using a recurring motif of furniture to ground its subjects. The visual language shifts between warm, tonal studio settings and sharp, high-contrast monochrome, creating a deliberate dialogue between form and texture. Creative direction from Justin Woo, paired with photography by Michael Brunt, establishes a clean, deliberate atmosphere across the collection. Styling by Kim Payne brings together a diverse array of textiles—from heavy knitwear and denim to intricate beadwork and corduroy—highlighting a layered, avant-garde approach to current silhouettes. Supporting these visuals are grooming details by Richi Grisillo, which maintain a natural, focused aesthetic. The collection, which features talent including Samir, Efraim, Noah Alef, Ton Heukels, and Marco Bellotti, employs editorial techniques such as analogue film aesthetics and chiaroscuro lighting to elevate the focus on garment craftsmanship.

The series leans into a distinct urban aesthetic, set against vibrant, color-blocked basketball courts and weathered architectural backdrops. The work explores dynamic motion and tactile textures, oscillating between high-contrast monochrome street imagery and saturated, primary-colored portraiture. Creative direction is led by Marne Schwartz and Justin Woo, with photography by Vladimir Marti capturing a range of motion, from mid-air athletic feats to contemplative, posed portraiture. Styling integrates casual athletic proportions with luxury accessories and intricate, handcrafted apparel details.

Captured by photographer Michael Brunt with styling by Kim Payne, the series employs a moody, low-key lighting palette to emphasize the contrast between metallic surfaces and grit.
