Boys By Girls
May 2026
In a sophisticated marriage of urban grit and high-end aesthetics, the Boys By Girls editorial project captures the fluid intersection of designer fashion and contemporary lifestyle. Through the lens of photographer Anka Garbowska, the series explores a refined narrative that leans into the interplay of natural light and architectural texture. Each portrait serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, leveraging soft, directional lighting to highlight the intricate materials of the wardrobe, from vibrant blue leather shirts to snakeskin-print trench coats. The styling, curated by Nicholas MacKinnon, maintains a grounded, contemplative tone, allowing the subject’s presence to command the frame against backdrops ranging from wood-paneled interiors to bustling city sidewalks. Movement director Brian Poniatowski further elevates the series, guiding the subject through a range of composed, relaxed postures that emphasize the tactile quality of the clothing rather than mere static posing. By utilizing a shallow depth of field, the imagery creates an intimate, professional aesthetic that feels both cinematic and grounded in reality. This collection serves as a powerful testament to the impact of thoughtful casting and precise environmental composition in fashion storytelling, proving that when movement, light, and styling align, the resulting portraiture transcends simple garment showcase to become a resonant piece of visual art that captures the essence of modern masculine identity.
