GQ España profiles professional athlete Carlos Alcaraz in this editorial portrait series. Photographed by JuanKr with fashion styling by Caterina Ospina Buitrago, the feature highlights a narrative centered on the athlete’s personal style and connection to the clay court environment. The series leans into a cinematic, analogue aesthetic. Many of the portraits utilize natural light and film grain to create an intimate quality, while other compositions incorporate high-contrast chiaroscuro techniques to emphasize texture and sharp shadow profiles. Across the set, the styling moves from casual layers to athletic attire, presented against both sparse studio backgrounds and the clay surface of the tennis court.
