A GQ shoot with Jaideep Ahlawat, the brief was to represent the mood of his film release on Netflix - Jewel Thief. We focused on the stillness and strength of his character. The mood was moody, literally! Black silhouettes, minimal set pieces and sharp pops of red that hinted at the thrill without spelling it out. The idea was to create a space that felt cold yet cinematic, controlled yet emotionally charged.
We didn’t want the environment to overpower, just quietly echo the man in frame. Every detail, from the shadows to the props was intentionally curated.
