Cut Loose 2026

Description

This striking portrait from the Cut Loose project for Financial Times HTSI Magazine features a young man seated against a dark studio background. Photographed by Laurence Ellis with fashion styling by Julian Ganio, the composition uses dramatic directional lighting that casts a sharp shadow across the upper face while illuminating the chest and tan button-down shirt. Hair styling is by Naoki Komiya, casting by Giulia Massullo and Piergiorgio Del Moro, and set design by Georgina Pragnell.
