Description

This magazine cover portrait for Variety features actors Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey photographed by Richard Phibbs.

They are posed against a muted, dark olive green mottled studio backdrop with large grey panels. The lighting is soft and directional, creating subtle shadows and highlighting the rich textures of their knitwear.
