This cover portrait for the May/June 2025 issue of Sotheby's Magazine features filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. Photographed by Angelo Pennetta with creative direction by Magnus Berger, the editorial image captures the subject in an urban outdoor setting. The composition uses natural light to create sharp shadows against a stark white backdrop, emphasizing a clean, graphic aesthetic.
The vertical format aligns with the publication's house style, positioning the subject centrally behind a prominent yellow fire hydrant. The imagery serves as the primary visual for the latest issue of the long-standing arts and culture media title.
