Description

A close-up black-and-white editorial portrait features musician Skepta captured by photographer Jessica Madavo for Esquire UK's Hail To The Chief project. Skepta wears dark, thick-rimmed rectangular eyeglasses and a tailored plaid blazer over a collared shirt, styled by Feranmi Eso with tailoring by Nafisa Tosh. He gestures directly toward the lens with an extended index finger, maintaining a confident, direct gaze. The composition utilizes high-contrast monochrome lighting with soft falloff against a minimal studio background.
