This gallery presents editorial production and lighting execution work developed through large-scale magazine and commercial shoots photographed by Ruven Afanador and produced within New York’s high-end editorial environment.

Created for Men’s Journal in collaboration with Sarah Laird & Good, the production featured internationally recognized figures including Richard Branson, Jimmy Chin, and Ben Stookesberry within a cinematic portrait and adventure-driven visual narrative.
