About

David is a fashion editorial series for The Rakish Gent that explores the intersection of classic tailoring and contemporary styling. The project features model David Ikuepamitan, who serves as the central subject across a range of studio-based portraits. The imagery utilizes a deliberate approach to texture and form, alternating between clean, neutral backdrops and moody, dark-draped environments. The styling highlights a focus on intricate patterns, tactile fabrics like knitwear, leather, and suede, and layered silhouettes. Techniques such as chiaroscuro and analogue film grain are employed to add depth to the monochrome and colour compositions alike, creating a contemplative and composed visual language.
