Days of the Lion is an editorial portrait series produced for The Blank Page Magazine. Captured by photographer Eric James Guillemain, the project leans into a moody, observational narrative through a sequence of candid and posed portraits. The imagery utilizes a high-contrast monochrome palette, focusing on the tactile quality of the subject's wardrobe—characterized by pinstripe tailoring, herringbone tweed, and layered metal accessories. Executed with a gritty, analogue film aesthetic, the series relies on natural light and soft, directional illumination to highlight architectural textures and the reflective surfaces of the subject's eyewear. The project captures an intimate, cinematic atmosphere through a combination of close-up studies and wide environmental shots.
