The Greatest Magazine: Talking Heads Riccardo Ruggeri
May 2025
Talking Heads is a fashion editorial feature for The Greatest Magazine, spotlighting model Riccardo Ruggeri through a series of dynamic outdoor portraits. The work leans into a clean, graphic aesthetic, leveraging natural light and sharp architectural shadows to define the subject and his contemporary menswear ensembles. Photographer Jaap Strijker captures the series with an emphasis on texture and bold primary colors, moving between intimate portraiture and active, movement-based compositions. Art direction by Eren Gedik creates a cohesive visual rhythm across varied urban backdrops, while makeup by Irena Ruben maintains a natural, understated finish. The project makes extensive use of editorial, clean, and analogue film techniques to highlight the layering and structure of the featured garments.
