GQ Portugal
Life's A Beach
Jul 2025
For GQ Portugal, photographer Ferran Casanova and stylist Cristian Betancurt present 'Life's A Beach,' a wide-ranging fashion editorial exploring coastal aesthetics. Through a mix of monochrome portraiture and vibrant, sun-drenched outdoor scenes, the series captures model Brennan Aldred across a variety of seaside settings. The project leans into a minimalist and at times surreal visual language, utilizing natural light to define textures—from the crisp contrast of straw hats and wet skin to the intricate patterns of resort-ready attire. The execution spans clean, high-contrast studio-style setups to candid, narrative-driven moments on the shoreline, often incorporating props that play with geometric lines against the organic backdrop of the ocean. The collection emphasizes a relaxed, summery mood while maintaining a precise, editorial polish.
