The Greatest Magazine The Symmetry Issue 2025

Description

This monochrome editorial fashion photograph captures a man standing outside the imposing art deco Dreamland building. Shot from a low angle, the composition emphasizes the architectural scale of the historic cinema facade behind the subject. The man wears a patterned blazer over an unbuttoned shirt and dark trousers, with rings visible on his fingers. The lighting is natural and high-contrast, accentuating the grain of the film stock and the textured brickwork. The image was created for The Greatest Magazine as part of The Symmetry Issue project, photographed by Paul Hempstead with creative direction by Edward James Lee.
