InStyle U.S. The Art of Playing ALAN CUMMING 2026

Description

This editorial portrait features actor Alan Cumming posed thoughtfully with his hand resting against his head, holding chess pieces between his fingers. He wears a patterned metallic jacket over a graphic top, complemented by subtle eye makeup. In the foreground, wooden chess pieces stand in soft focus on a chessboard, creating a layered depth of field. The subject is set against a neutral grey studio background, captured with clean studio lighting. Photographers Eric Michael Roy and Max Montgomery lensed the shoot for InStyle U.S., with fashion styling by Kevin Huynh and Sam Spector, and set design by Amy Jo Diaz.
