METAL Magazine Eliot Sumner 2025

Description

Eliot Sumner reclines horizontally across the frame in a monochrome fashion portrait for METAL Magazine, shot by photographer Jimi Franklin. Sumner rests their head against an arm, looking directly at the camera while dressed in an oversized black and white chevron-striped sweater layered over a white collared shirt and paired with tweed trousers. The composition employs clean studio lighting against a minimal seamless background, creating subtle, soft shadows beneath the subject. Styled by Marc Forne with hair by Ayumi Yamamoto and makeup by Dotti, the image maintains a quiet, grounded editorial aesthetic.
