Editorial

To apply these editorial techniques to your own styling projects, start by deconstructing a single image from Brosnahan’s recent studio work. First, identify the primary light source—often a single, diffused overhead softbox used to create dramatic, sculptural shadows across the cheekbones. Next, isolate the wardrobe's anchor piece, such as a structured wool blazer, and note how the stylist pinned it at the back to force a rigid, exaggerated silhouette that rarely exists off-camera. Finally, replicate the color grading by cooling the midtones in your editing software to mimic the stark, cinematic quality of high-end print publications. This methodical breakdown transforms a finished magazine spread into a practical blueprint for your next shoot.
