Cole Fawcett works across art direction, image strategy, and visual storytelling, building image systems that balance emotional depth with clarity at scale. With a background in journalism and art history, his approach is rooted in close observation and narrative thinking, translating subtle human moments into cohesive visual languages.
His practice spans editorial, fashion, and brand content, where image is treated as both expression and structure. Rather than chasing spectacle, Cole focuses on mood, presence, and rhythm, directing imagery that feels considered, lived in, and culturally grounded. Photography is one of the tools he uses to shape larger visual narratives, alongside concept development, art direction, and content strategy.
Working between Toronto and Paris, Cole collaborates with brands and creative teams to shape image ecosystems across editorial, social, and digital platforms. His work often explores themes of longing, identity, and place, treating landscape, architecture, and the human body as equal elements within a visual language. Light becomes structure, bodies feel fluid, and environments carry emotional weight.
At the core of his work is a belief that strong image direction comes from attention to people, context, and how images live in the world.
