GQ Australia: The faces of AFL’s Indigenous Round

May 2025

GQ Australia spotlights the contributors and athletes involved in the AFL’s Indigenous Round through this editorial portrait series. Photographed by Simon Eeles, the feature presents a collection of portraits that lean into a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a focus on personal expression and layered textile detail. The project channels a warm, direct visual tone, utilizing natural light and studio-lit environments to document the subjects. Fashion styling by Carlos Mangubat and hair styling by Bradwyn Jones provide a cohesive look across the series, highlighting the patterned garments and contemporary silhouettes worn by the participants. The imagery, captured in vertical orientation, avoids complex set design to keep the attention on the individuals and their connection to the season's significance.
