About

Stephen's Garden is an editorial portrait series for GQ UK featuring actor Stephen Graham. Photographed by Ben Parks with fashion direction by Sam Ranger, the project leans into a minimalist aesthetic, pairing intricate, tactile knitwear and layered patchwork outerwear with whimsical, garden-inspired set pieces. The series utilises clean studio lighting to contrast structured fashion silhouettes against abundant floral installations and botanical elements designed by George Lewin. The result is a series of editorial portraits that blend character study with stylized, textural elements. Additional production credits include hair styling by Stefan Bertin and manicures by Cherrie Snow.
