Contributor

Kudacki, who photographed August cover

star Odell Beckham Jr., is no stranger

to GQ cover shoots, having also captured

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner (among

others). She’s from Argentina, where soccer

reigns supreme, but was already quite

familiar with Beckham Jr. “He’s a big star

with an amazing sense of style,” she says.

“And The Catch [against the Cowboys]

was pretty epic.”
