V Man

Jul 2025

The July 2025 digital cover for V Man features a striking portrait captured by photographer Richie Talboy. Under the editorial guidance of Editor-in-Chief Stephen Gan, the imagery leans into a high-contrast aesthetic, set against a stark, clean background to isolate the subject. Fashion Editor and stylist Alexander Roth anchors the visual direction, pairing dark denim textures with minimalist styling. The execution benefits from set design by Lauren Bahr and precise makeup artistry by Mitch Yoshida, with casting direction provided by Greg Krelenstein. This project maintains a crisp editorial focus, utilising chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the definition of the frame.
