Numero Netherlands

Jul 2026

In a sophisticated editorial feature for Numero Netherlands, actor Corey Hawkins takes center stage in a project that blurs the lines between classic portraiture and modern digital artistry. Titled In Conversation With COREY HAWKINS, this series showcases the actor through a lens that feels both grounded and experimental, skillfully balancing the raw texture of analog-leaning aesthetics with playful, graphic interventions. Photographer William Ferchichi captures a sequence of intimate, minimalist frames, where the use of studio strobe lighting creates a clean, architectural quality that forces the viewer to engage with the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and silhouette. Fashion editor and stylist Elanur Erdoğan elevates the visual narrative through a series of structured, high-fashion ensembles that transition from tailored monochromatic suits to utility-driven silhouettes, accented by artful layering. The inclusion of subtle, hand-drawn graphic elements—ranging from vibrant crowns to graffiti-inspired brushstrokes—adds a layer of contemporary disruption to the otherwise precise composition. With expert grooming support from Chaz Hazlitt, the imagery maintains a sharp, professional focus, emphasizing the actor’s composed expression. Through this collection, the team leans into a language of editorial minimalism, successfully blending cinematic depth with a sharp, fashion-forward sensibility that feels both intentional and profoundly modern.
