HERO Magazine features actor George MacKay in a comprehensive editorial series that explores texture, structure, and character-driven portraiture. Captured by photographer Francis Boissier with fashion styling by Davey Sutton, the imagery leverages a mix of clean studio backgrounds and vibrant solid-color backdrops to elevate the subject’s wardrobe, ranging from heavy shearling-lined parkas to tailored suits with ornate, metallic embellished epaulets.
The series leans into a distinct editorial aesthetic, alternating between high-contrast monochrome captures and warm, cinematic palettes. Techniques such as analogue film grain and soft directional lighting are employed to emphasize the tactile qualities of the garments, from distressed knits to plush faux-fur detailing. The project is further rounded out by the inclusion of Charlie Cullen, presenting a refined look at contemporary men's fashion and portrait photography.
