Various Covers

Sep 2025

The Misfits Zine 2025 covers feature a series of editorial portraits captured by photographer Gary Lupton. These vertical-format images lean into a western-inspired aesthetic, centering on model Juhyung Kang in a curated selection of denim and wide-brimmed cowboy hats. Creative direction by Paul Lamb and fashion styling by Cole Stevens define the project's visual direction. The studio imagery relies on a monochrome palette and high-contrast, hard light to emphasize facial structure and garment textures. Set against a clean, minimal backdrop, the portraits incorporate bold typography and framing elements consistent with editorial magazine design. These covers utilize a mix of soft and directional studio lighting to highlight the details of the subject's wardrobe and accessories.
