COAT Magazine: Boys Like Us

Jan 2024

Boys Like Us is a multifaceted fashion editorial produced for COAT Magazine. The series moves between controlled studio environments and raw, outdoor settings, offering a study of contemporary masculine style through a lens of quiet intimacy. Photographer Oliver Begg utilizes a mix of clean studio lighting and natural light to capture an array of textured layers and streetwear-inspired silhouettes. The project relies on a predominantly monochrome aesthetic, elevated by a distinct analogue film grain that emphasizes the tactile qualities of the wardrobe. With styling by Patrick Zaczkiewicz and hair by Darren Summors, the work leans into a gritty, documentary-style portraiture that prioritizes tonal depth and high-contrast chiaroscuro techniques.
