BOY
May 2026
For BOY, a compelling editorial spread featured in Cero Magazine, photographer Pierre Crosby explores the intersection of high fashion and architectural minimalism. The project eschews traditional gloss for a studied, contemplative approach, utilizing a stark monochromatic palette and an industrial backdrop of poured concrete to frame its subject, actor Boy Ewald. Throughout the series, the styling by Takuya Yamaguchi and makeup artistry by Megan Kelly accentuate a severe, high-fashion aesthetic, favoring slicked-back hair and clean lines that underscore the sculptural quality of the garments. With expert casting by Bronson Vajda, the imagery leans into a range of techniques, blending natural light with intentional studio strobe and low-key chiaroscuro lighting to deepen the sense of drama. The inclusion of film-based elements, including 35mm film shots and deliberate light leaks, provides a tactile, ethereal texture that prevents the clean compositions from feeling sterile. Set design by Miles Bettinelli introduces subtle complexity through weathered, hand-painted walls and soft floral fabrics, which provide a rhythmic contrast to the structured, fringe-heavy leather pieces. By synthesizing these elements, the project achieves a sophisticated, cinematic portraiture style that honors the raw texture of the materials while maintaining an unwavering focus on form, silhouette, and the introspective mood of the subject.
