Everyone Wants a Piece of Drew Starkey
Jan 2024
Esquire Australia’s feature, "Everyone Wants a Piece of Drew Starkey," is a comprehensive editorial portrait series showcasing the actor through a blend of studio-based portraiture and observational location photography. Photographer Zackery Michael employs a mix of clean, high-contrast monochrome and warm, golden-hour compositions to explore the subject's dynamic range. The series transitions between static, posed editorial shots—often set against neutral studio backdrops or vibrant red surfaces—and active, outdoor scenes captured in urban environments. The styling, curated by fashion stylist Heathermary Jackson with hair by Melissa Levy, leans into heavily textured knitwear, patterned denim, and layered tailoring, all rendered through an authentic analogue film aesthetic. This production prioritizes a raw, textural approach, utilizing natural light to emphasise both the architectural settings and the character of the subject.
