Project The Hollywood Reporter · By Danielle Levitt

Under the creative direction of Ada Guerin, this feature transcends the standard press junket portrait, utilizing a stark, seamless white backdrop to strip away distractions and focus entirely on the playful, nuanced dynamics between the actors. Levitt leans into editorial minimalism, employing studio strobe lighting to create bright, even frames that highlight both crisp, high-fashion formalwear and approachable, denim-clad lifestyle looks. The project oscillates between high-speed freeze action shots that convey a sense of suspended gravity and intimate, high-key close-ups that emphasize genuine, unfiltered expressions of joy. With expert fashion styling from Alison Edmond and James Yardley, the wardrobe choices act as a narrative tool, alternating between structured cream-colored tuxedos and fluid silk slip dresses to frame the trio as a cohesive, celebratory ensemble. By integrating bold typography and a clean, graphic aesthetic, the shoot maintains a polished, magazine-ready finish that feels both modern and timeless. Through Levitt’s lens, the project captures a sense of spontaneous connection, transforming a professional entertainment assignment into a sophisticated study of personality, charisma, and visual storytelling within the competitive landscape of modern media.
Project The Hollywood Reporter · The Hollywood Reporter 07/16/2026 Cover
For their July 16, 2026, cover, The Hollywood Reporter delivers a refreshing departure from the stiff, formal portraits often found in entertainment publishing, opting instead for a candid aesthetic that feels pulled directly from the streets of a bustling metropolis. Photographer Blair Getz Mezibov masterfully captures actor Jon Bernthal in a series of shots that prioritize authenticity, utilizing natural light to accentuate the grit and texture of the urban environment. The cover story leans into a relaxed editorial lifestyle approach, showing Bernthal in an effortless ensemble—a crisp white crew-neck tucked into loose-fitting khakis—that perfectly balances the polished reality of Hollywood talent. Creative director Ada Guerin maintains a sophisticated vision throughout, while fashion editor and stylist Alison Edmond injects a sense of deliberate minimalism, ensuring the clothing serves the portrait rather than distracting from it. By embracing a sun-drenched, unposed energy, the shoot elevates standard industry portraiture into something more tactile and grounded. The resulting imagery reads as both cinematic and approachable, successfully bridging the gap between high-fashion editorial polish and the relatable, everyday allure required by today's media landscape. This project serves as a masterclass in how precise casting and expert creative direction can transform a simple location walk-and-talk into a compelling, narrative-driven cover that resonates with the modern reader.

The project leans into a refined, industrial aesthetic, utilizing rough, mottled concrete walls and minimalist grey backdrops to create a high-contrast environment that allows each subject to anchor the frame. Through a blend of natural light and precise studio strobe setups, the imagery shifts seamlessly between cinematic low-key chiaroscuro and clean, professional editorial minimalism. Whether capturing a smiling portrait in a modern wire-frame chair or a moody, high-contrast close-up, the work emphasizes tactile details—from intricate embroidery and textured corduroy to the grit of pebble-dashed stone. By combining these varied technical approaches, the project achieves a cohesive yet dynamic visual language, elevating the standard for media and entertainment photography.
