May 2025

18 Shades of Grey is a portrait series for Carcy Magazine that explores personal style and individual expression through a range of intimate editorial subjects. Photographed by Luke Abby with creative direction from Benjamin Huseby, the project captures diverse figures, including designer Rick Owens and entertainer Michael Stipe, within varied domestic and architectural settings. Technically versatile, the collection balances clean, direct lighting with moody, atmospheric moments such as grain-heavy shots and subtle analogue film textures. The work emphasizes intricate details, from tattooed skin and tactile leather to structured, sculptural garments, creating a cohesive visual narrative across the portraiture.
