The Greatest Magazine
Talking Heads Riccardo Ruggeri
May 2025
Talking Heads is a fashion editorial feature for The Greatest Magazine, showcasing a series of portraits that explore the versatility of contemporary menswear. The project highlights model Riccardo Ruggeri through a lens of crisp, structural framing and tactile layering. Photographer Jaap Strijker utilizes natural light to generate high-contrast silhouettes and sharp shadows against a variety of urban and architectural backdrops. Art direction by Eren Gedik emphasizes clean lines and primary colour palettes, complemented by the precise makeup work of Irena Ruben. The imagery relies on an editorial, vertical format with an analogue film aesthetic, grounding the styling in a sharp, grounded perspective.
