Financial Times - HTSI Magazine

Aug 2026

Character Study is an editorial series produced for Financial Times – HTSI Magazine. Captured by photographer Indigo Lewin, the project presents a series of studio-based portraits featuring model George Anderson that explore varied aesthetic expressions, ranging from high-contrast flash lighting to soft, natural illumination. Fashion editor and stylist Isabelle Kountoure anchors the visual direction, utilizing pinstripe tailoring and minimal accessories to establish a clean foundation. Makeup artist Mel Arter complements these looks with diverse treatments, spanning from dewy, glossy textures to more dramatic, smoky applications. The collaboration emphasizes precise, minimalist composition across all vertical editorial frames.
