Cero Magazine

Jun 2026

This editorial portrait feature for Cero Magazine showcases actor Patrick Ball in a series of studio-based configurations. The project documents the subject through diverse styling, ranging from high-contrast graphic prints and tailored silhouettes to layered knitwear, captured with a blend of direct flash and long exposure techniques. Photographer Brendan Wixted employs a variety of lighting styles, including crisp direct flash and directional soft light, to define the subject's movement and form against neutral backgrounds. The execution leans into a clean, graphic aesthetic, utilising elements like shutter drag and collage-style compositions to create a sense of kinetic energy. Creative contributions include hair styling by Jaz Shepard and makeup artistry by Sasha Borax.
