LA Times Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs on 'Hacks' 2026

About

Photographer David Urbanke captures actors Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs in a close portrait against a solid red studio backdrop for the LA Times. Both subjects wear pale button-up collared shirts, with Stalter layered over a white turtleneck and Downs sporting a collared shirt with an embroidered heart insignia. Diffused soft studio lighting illuminates their subtle smiles as they lean together with heads touching.
