Behind the Blinds: Barak Shamir

Jun 2025

This fashion editorial feature for Behind the Blinds magazine showcases a versatile menswear story centered on model Barak Shamir. Captured across a series of intimate hotel-inspired settings, the project leans into a refined aesthetic that balances crisp, clean compositions with high-contrast flash techniques. Photographer Ben Lamberty and fashion editor Max Weinstein collaborate to highlight textured tailoring and casual separates, utilizing direct lighting to accentuate the materiality of leather, faux-fur, and suiting. The series employs editorial layouts, including diptychs and multi-panel collages, to document Shamir in varied states of relaxation and composure, anchored by a polished, modern menswear focus.
