Film buffs will recognize these shots as being recreated scenes from the movie ‘The Professional.’ This clever fashion spread for L’Officiel Hommes China stars handsome male model Noah Mills, and an edgy child accomplice. Photographer Jun Liu perfectly captures the essence of the film with these roguish (and stylish) shots.
The Professional was released in the early 90’s and starred Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and a very young Natalie Portman. For those who haven’t seen it, the film is about a hitman, and a little girl who he takes under his wing. Mills fills Reno’s shoes in this homage style editorial.
These shots depict Mills traveling around the city with his tiny partner in crime. He teaches her how to aim a gun, and takes her out for lunch in this badass series. The fashion in this series is classy, and definitely fit for a professional.
