About

This striking monochrome-graded cover portrait features actor Glen Powell captured in a tight, dramatic frame by photographer Billy Kidd for the October/November 2026 issue of Esquire U.S. The composition centers on a close-up of Powell's face, marked by intense expression and intricate shadow patterns cast across his left cheek and eye. He wears a textured dark jacket over a simple dark top against a neutral studio background. The minimalist lighting design creates high-contrast tonal depth, emphasizing texture and form. The bold red Esquire masthead frames the top of the image, completing the classic magazine cover layout.
