HERO Magazine Restless 2026

Description

This black and white portrait features a young male model seated against a heavily textured concrete wall, captured as part of the Restless project for HERO Magazine. Photographed by Gino Gurrieri with fashion styling by Steve Morriss and hair styling by Hiroshi Matsushita, the image showcases strong directional lighting that casts sharp shadows across the scene. The model wears a light-coloured crewneck sweatshirt and dark trousers, posed with one hand resting on his knee and an expressive look on his face. The casting was handled by Simon van Stigt, featuring models including Alex Schlab, Damilare Saka, Kian Cleator, and Siegfried Blanche. The monochromatic tones and grainy finish emphasize the raw, atmospheric quality of the editorial shoot.
