This editorial portrait series for Sleek Magazine features actor Clemens Schick in a collection of character-driven frames. Photographer Szymon Stępniak employs a variety of lighting styles to shift the mood, ranging from clean, direct studio portraiture to low-key, atmospheric compositions.
The work leans into a cinematic aesthetic, utilizing smoke and directional lighting to build depth. Across the series, the styling highlights textures and metallic tones, captured with both natural light and high-contrast flash techniques to establish a raw editorial sensibility.
