GQ Portugal

Aug 2025

After the Break, a fashion editorial feature for GQ Portugal, explores contemporary menswear through a series of studio-based portraits. Captured by photographer Frederico Santos, the project utilizes a blend of monochrome and desaturated tones to emphasize relaxed tailoring and textural layering. The imagery relies on soft light and minimalist studio settings to maintain a clean aesthetic across the various compositions. The editorial frames a range of silhouettes, from fluid wide-leg trousers and distressed denim to structured knitwear and open-collared shirts. With makeup artistry by Diogo Ribeiro, the focus remains on the interplay between the subjects and their pared-back environment, utilizing props like rowing paddles and vintage bicycles to introduce sculptural elements. The resulting series emphasizes a cohesive, refined approach to male fashion portraiture.
