GQ Portugal 70s Stakeout 2025

Description

A cinematic, low-key profile shot from the 70s Stakeout editorial for GQ Portugal, photographed by Cody Lidtke and styled by Charlie Ward. The frame captures a male subject in silhouette against a warm, yellow-toned brick wall as he cups his hands to light a cigarette. High-contrast ambient tungsten light illuminates the edges of his profile and dark outerwear while deep shadows obscure his face. The overall composition and color palette evoke a gritty vintage detective narrative.
