The Blank Page Magazine: Exit at the Bowery

Jun 2025

For The Blank Page Magazine, 'Exit at the Bowery' presents a series of candid, observational portraits featuring actor Simon Baker. Photographed by Eric James Guillemain, the editorial spread adopts a documentary-led approach, capturing Baker against the urban backdrop of New York City streets and alleyways. The project leans into a cinematic, high-contrast monochrome aesthetic, utilizing analogue film techniques to highlight textures in the city's architecture, from graffiti-laden brickwork to metal fire escapes. With hair styling by Peter Gray, the series oscillates between intimate, interior settings and exterior street-level narratives, emphasizing natural light and a gritty, observational mood throughout.
