Esquire Australia: Simon Baker

Jan 2025

Esquire Australia presents a comprehensive editorial feature centered on actor Simon Baker. Photographed by Simon Baker, the series traverses two distinct visual environments: the clean, high-contrast intimacy of a studio setting and the expansive, atmospheric backdrop of a rugged coastline. The project leans into editorial portraiture, utilizing both low-key chiaroscuro techniques to heighten textural detail and natural light to capture a sense of candid, coastal ease. The styling, curated by Grant Pearce, balances structured tailoring—including patterned blazers and leather jackets—with softer knitwear layers, supporting a versatile narrative aesthetic. Produced by Jo Sinclair with grooming by Linda Jefferyes, the work relies on a combination of monochromatic compositions and desaturated, cool-toned colour grading to maintain a cohesive visual identity across the spread.
