Project Out Magazine · Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega talk the ...
In this evocative feature for Out Magazine, the interplay between personality and fashion takes center stage as Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega are captured in a series of striking portraits that blur the line between documentary realism and high-end editorial storytelling. The project leans into an intimate, narrative-driven aesthetic, utilizing both the raw texture of 35mm film and a polished cinematic polish to frame its subjects. Fashion editor and stylist Suthee Jonasson masterfully orchestrates the visual dialogue, pairing Ortega in vibrant, layered trenches and structured florals with Levy in sharp, double-breasted suiting and signature eyewear. This editorial portrait series finds rhythm in its contrast, moving from the soft, natural light of candid doorway frames to the moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting that defines Ortega’s more dramatic solo shots. The inclusion of subtle mid-century modern set design—defined by striped vintage sofas and dark wood paneling—grounds the session in a tangible, tactile reality. With meticulous grooming from makeup artist Sandy Nicha, the work feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. By focusing on these nuanced environmental portraits, the team manages to distill a complex creative conversation into a cohesive, visually arresting feature that highlights the versatility of both subjects while maintaining a consistent, refined editorial sensibility throughout the entire collection.
Project Out Magazine · Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani on ...
In a sophisticated showcase for Out Magazine, photographer David Urbanke captures the magnetic partnership between actor Colman Domingo and creative collaborator Marco Calvani. This editorial feature leans into a refined aesthetic, prioritizing clean lines and rich, monochromatic earth tones against neutral studio backdrops. Through a series of carefully composed portraits, the project eschews busy environments in favor of a minimalist approach that spotlights the intricate textures of high-fashion tailoring. From structured trench coats to metallic-embellished blazers, the sartorial choices curated by fashion editor Charlie Ward ground the imagery in elegance, while soft and even studio strobe lighting ensures every detail—from floral embroidery to polished leather—remains sharp and intentional. The work oscillates between composed, steady-gaze portraiture and dynamic, playful movement, reflecting a sense of genuine camaraderie between the subjects. Makeup artist Jessica Smalls provides a precise, polished finish that complements the overall editorial minimalism, allowing the subjects’ expressive range to take center stage. By blending the precision of commercial portrait techniques with the nuanced storytelling of traditional media, the project succeeds in creating a lasting, high-impact visual narrative. Each frame reads as an intimate study of style and connection, demonstrating how disciplined lighting and thoughtful styling can elevate even the simplest studio setup into a resonant, artistic statement within the competitive landscape of modern media and entertainment.

Captured by photographer David Urbanke, the cover features Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani posed against a clean, neutral studio backdrop, stripping away extraneous noise to focus entirely on the palpable rapport between the two subjects. The composition leans into a classic editorial aesthetic, utilizing soft, even natural light that highlights the tactile textures of the styling curated by fashion editor Charlie Ward. Calvani’s grey patterned blazer offers a subtle contrast to Domingo’s bold, deep red jacket, creating a visual balance that feels both curated and effortlessly intimate. With precise grooming and makeup artistry provided by Jessica Smalls, the imagery avoids the hyper-stylized tropes often associated with pride campaigns, favoring instead a grounded, humanistic approach that respects the gravitas of its subjects. By emphasizing composition over artifice, this portrait reaffirms the magazine's commitment to thoughtful, high-end storytelling within the media and entertainment landscape. The result is a striking cover that feels contemporary yet timeless, proving that editorial minimalism remains the most effective tool for capturing the intersection of fashion, culture, and identity in the modern era of LGBTQ+ media production.

In this evocative feature for Out Magazine, photographer David Urbanke crafts a narrative of intimacy and sophisticated style, placing actor Colman Domingo and partner Marco Calvani at the center of an editorial portrait series that prioritizes human connection. Eschewing the noise of busy sets for a refined, minimalist aesthetic, the images rely on a seamless tan backdrop and masterful studio strobe lighting to keep the focus entirely on the subjects. The series excels in its tactile attention to detail, seamlessly blending natural light qualities with a clean studio finish to highlight the rich, earthy color palette of terracotta, maroon, and gold within the styling. With fashion direction from Charlie Ward and meticulous grooming work by makeup artist Jessica Smalls, the editorial leans into a sense of modern vulnerability. Domingo is captured in various states of composure—from a dynamic, high-energy full-length pose that showcases the architectural drape of a tailored trench coat, to a quiet, grounded close-up that highlights the textures of a metallic-patterned blazer. By balancing sharp, contemporary fashion choices with a soft, even glow, Urbanke produces a series that feels both timeless and deeply current. The result is a polished showcase within the media and entertainment industry, demonstrating how careful framing and deliberate garment choices can transform standard portraiture into a powerful, character-driven storytelling vehicle.
