Description

Fantastic Man explores the intersection of physique and sartorial structure in 'Big Big Men,' a fashion editorial that leans into bold silhouettes and high-contrast studio aesthetics. Photographer Zac Bayly captures the subjects against a mix of vibrant, solid-colored seamless backdrops and stark, deep-shadow night environments, utilizing clean flash lighting to emphasize the material textures of the apparel. The series features creative direction from Jop van Bennekom and fashion styling by Julian Ganio, who curate a range of pieces from intricate knits to exaggerated, wide-leg tailoring. With additional production contributions from hair stylist Matt Mulhall and casting director Stéphane Gaboué, the project maintains a consistent focus on form and graphical composition throughout its editorial run.
