Esquire UK: The Rebel Alexander Skarsgård

Nov 2025

Actor Alexander Skarsgård is featured in an editorial project for Esquire UK, titled The Rebel. The shoot employs a mix of minimalist studio portraiture and outdoor location work, blending sharp fashion styling with unconventional props and everyday settings. Photographer Ben Parks captures Skarsgård across a range of environments, from bright, clean studio backdrops featuring geometric tape accents to textured, desaturated outdoor settings. The project leans into editorial photography with a focus on contrasting textures, utilizing natural light to highlight knitwear, distressed denim, and detailed tailoring. Fashion styling is led by Felicity Kay, while Carlota Cabrera provides set design that incorporates organic elements and sculptural props. The work relies on analogue film techniques to maintain a tactile, composed aesthetic.
