A few years ago, I photographed Josef Adamu for Todd Snyder’s Heritage Plaid capsule with L.L.Bean. Josef styled and creative directed the shoot. We took the clothes outside, where the red plaid worked with the fall colors and the places around us.

I wanted the portraits to feel grounded and let Josef be himself in them. His eye shaped the styling, and I focused on the little moments that made each frame feel lived in. I still love this set.
