For The Leading Man, Esquire UK features actor Tom Hiddleston in a series of dynamic editorial portraits. Captured by photographer Fumi Homma with fashion styling by Sam Ranger, the project leans into a cinematic aesthetic using rich, warm palettes and theatrical staging.
Across the editorial shots, Hiddleston is framed against architectural curtains and retro-inspired interiors. The imagery utilises clean, directed lighting to highlight formal textures, ranging from pinstripe tailoring to satin accents, while incorporating techniques like analogue film to ground the editorial compositions.
