Behind the Blinds HS01: WE WERE SUN
Jun 2026
In the latest issue of Behind the Blinds, the editorial spread titled HS01: WE WERE SUN masterfully leans into the refined world of luxury fashion. Captured through the lens of photographer Emilia Staugaard, the project serves as a sophisticated masterclass in editorial portraiture, stripping away unnecessary noise to focus on texture and silhouette. The centerpiece of the campaign is actor Finn Bennett, whose presence is anchored by a deliberate sense of poise and sharp, minimalist composure. Working closely with fashion editor and stylist Nathan Henry, the team curates a look defined by a lustrous satin shirt featuring a bold, dramatic pussy-bow detail. This choice of fabric becomes a focal point of the imagery, emphasizing how light plays across high-end materials when captured with clean, precise framing. The decision to shoot in black and white further strips the narrative down to its core components, highlighting the intricate interplay between the model’s sharp features and the soft, organic pinstriped details. With hair styling by Brady Lea, the execution relies heavily on natural light to deliver a polished aesthetic that feels both contemporary and timeless. By avoiding heavy post-production effects, the team successfully channels a quiet, understated elegance that highlights the raw artistic synergy between the creative leads and their subject, solidifying the magazine’s reputation for uncompromising visual storytelling within the luxury fashion sector.
