WSJ Magazine features British novelist Ian McEwan in this editorial portrait series. Photographed by Linda Brownlee, the collection captures the author within his private study and home environment, utilizing a warm, earthy color palette and consistent natural light to ground the subjects.
The project documents both the author’s workspace and a series of tactile, curated still lifes found within his residence. These arrangements, including a playfully decorated classical bust and various personal souvenirs, provide a narrative layer to the feature through a mix of vertical and horizontal compositions.
