GQ Matt Damon Never Thought 56 Would Be So Epic 2026
About
GQ features actor Matt Damon for the Men of the Year project, captured in a series of editorial portraits set against arid, desert landscapes. The imagery moves between the high-contrast intensity of monochrome photography and the warmth of golden hour light, framing the subject in a variety of formal tuxedo-inspired ensembles and layered, textured attire. Photographed by Richard Burbridge, the series leans into an editorial aesthetic that juxtaposes crisp, clean styling with the raw, earthy textures of the scrubland environment. Fashion styling by George Cortina provides a distinct formal contrast to the natural setting, while production by NEIGHBORS and set design by Heath Mattioli support the project’s cohesive cinematic mood. Johnnie Sapong contributed as hair stylist, finalizing the look across both the portrait sessions and the wide, atmospheric landscape captures.
