Rolling Stone Steve Lacy by Daniel Sannwald 2025

Description

This striking portrait features musician Steve Lacy captured from a dramatic high-angle perspective, towering as a giant figure over an expansive aerial view of a cityscape. Photographed by Daniel Sannwald for Rolling Stone, the image employs a distorted wide-angle lens technique that curves the urban grid beneath the subject. Lacy wears a dark jacket layered over a patterned top, casting a prominent shadow across the dense grid of streets and buildings below. The composition is art-directed by Joe Hutchinson with fashion styling by KK Obi and set design by Felix Gesnouin. The monochromatic and desaturated grading enhances the cinematic, surreal quality of the editorial spread.
