Author Portraits

Jordan King-Lacroix

Natural author portraits made for the release of Ugly, relaxed enough to feel like the person rather than the publicity machine.

My role

Photographer

The project

Jordan needed a set of author photographs for press, profiles and the release of their first book, Ugly. The images needed to feel credible and polished without becoming stiff or overly constructed.

The approach

We worked with natural light and a simple red-brick location, using the repeating geometry as a frame while keeping Jordan's expression open and unforced. I delivered both colour and black-and-white variations for different publishing contexts.

What remained

The photographs were used across Jordan's website, social profiles, publicity and book materials.
