Portrait photo-set: Rik

Added 2024-09-06 09:00:03 +0000 UTC

It's Rik's final photoset and our last set in Olly Hearsey's summer series, overlapping with the autumn preview, which we have shot against a subdued colour palette, lit with higher contrast lighting that felt more sensitive to the season. This is a real bumper set of 100 reference images, with multiple portrait rotations and a series of more naturalistic poses that complements Rik's earlier clothed set where he was preparing for a run.
