Description

For American Vogue's "Inside Man" project, photographer Norman Jean Roy captures a series of editorial portraits that explore refined silhouettes and classic tailoring. The collection of monochrome images utilizes high-contrast studio lighting to emphasize fabric textures and sharp facial details, set against clean, minimalist backdrops. Fashion editor and stylist Edward Bowleg III defines the aesthetic, pairing knitwear and structured formalwear with precise tailoring by Jacqui Bennett. Complementary hair styling by Edward Lampley and makeup by Kuma round out the production, grounding the portraits in a classic, analogue film aesthetic that leans into the editorial tradition.
