Cover portrait of Jose Mourinho for The Gaffer magazine, staged as a brooding Roma-era character study with the weight of an Italian crime drama poster.

Client The Gaffer Magazine
Jose Mourinho, The Special One, rendered for The Gaffer magazine. A cover portrait capturing Mourinho during his Roma chapter — older, greyer, but no less theatrical. The brief was to make him look like the protagonist of an Italian crime drama, which honestly required very little artistic licence.
The Gaffer is an independent football magazine that deserves your attention and your money.
