Chicago Bears player Kyler Gordon picked a Moroccan Tile Studio at FD Photo Studio New York for his Schön Magazine photo shoot. The 800-square-foot studio was a perfect space to capture his style and personality.
Kyler Gordon plays defense for the Chicago Bears. His teammates call him “Spiderman” because of how he moves on the field. He jumps really high, bends in unusual ways, and appears out of nowhere to make plays. Gordon brings this same exciting energy to everything he does, including fashion.
For his Schön Magazine interview, Gordon worked with photographer Tiago Chediak and fashion stylist R. Cole Stevens. They chose Moroccan Tile Studio LIC 7 at FD Photo Studio NY because it offers several different backgrounds in one space. The studio has textured walls in different colors, large windows, basic lighting and grip equipment included, and makeup and changing areas, everything needed for an editorial shoot.
Gordon describes his style as “chameleon,” meaning it changes with his mood. Some days he goes for loud, bold looks. Other days he prefers clean, simple outfits. That range of styles made the Moroccan Tile Studio a great fit for this shoot.
Here’s something surprising about Gordon: he trained in ballet when he was younger. Dancing helped him learn amazing balance and body control. It made him better at jumping and moving smoothly on the football field.
These skills helped Gordon get picked by the Chicago Bears in 2022 as the 39th player in the NFL Draft. He was one of the best young players available. In April 2025, the Bears gave him a new contract worth $40 million over three years. This made him one of the highest-paid players at his position in the NFL.
A great team worked together to bring Gordon’s Schön Magazine shoot to life:
