Project Buffalo Zine · Willy Ndatila / Williamcult
In this evocative feature for Buffalo Zine, photographer Jo Fetto captures Willy Ndatila through a lens that masterfully balances high-concept editorial sensibilities with the grounded, candid intimacy of lifestyle portraiture. Across the series, the project explores the intersection of personal identity and intellectual environment, framing Ndatila against backdrops that range from the dense, paper-laden clutter of a creative workspace to the lush, contrasting textures of an urban-pastoral garden. Fetto leans into a natural light aesthetic, utilizing soft, ambient illumination to highlight the thoughtful stillness of the subject as he moves through these curated, deeply personal spaces. The interplay between the vibrant red knitwear and the surrounding foliage serves to anchor the viewer in a specific, intentional color palette, while the stylistic choice of mixing formal layered garments with eclectic, contemporary accessories reinforces the publication's signature editorial minimalism. Throughout the shoot, the composition remains focused on the subject's quiet engagement with his surroundings, whether he is nestled among stacks of printed media or reclining on a manicured lawn before the backdrop of historic stonework. By prioritizing a candid approach, the photography succeeds in stripping away the veneer of traditional celebrity portraiture, instead presenting an authentic narrative that feels both storied and immediate, firmly rooting the viewer in the distinct, creative spirit of the magazine.
Project Buffalo Zine · Hiding the Truth Protects Nothing Wo ...
In Hiding the Truth Protects Nothing, Buffalo Zine delivers a masterclass in editorial minimalism, stripping away the superfluous to place the focus squarely on the tactile language of contemporary fashion. Photographed by Adrián González-Cohen with styling by Juan Corrales, the series adopts an unapologetic focus on texture and silhouette, utilizing a consistent neutral grey studio backdrop to unify a disparate range of avant-garde and high-fashion looks. The project leans into the classic editorial portrait, employing both studio strobe and natural light to emphasize the materiality of the garments, from the luster of silk and the rigidity of structural fabric to the soft, layered depth of tulle and leather. By juxtaposing everyday elements—a lit cigarette, a ceramic mug, or a casual pair of sweatpants—against high-concept sartorial choices, the imagery creates a deliberate friction between the performative nature of the shoot and an air of quiet, contemplative spontaneity. This narrative approach transforms each frame into a study of character as much as clothing, where the deliberate styling choices allow individual pieces to speak with singular authority. The resulting collection is a cohesive, visually sophisticated narrative that elevates the standard fashion editorial into something more introspective, proving that when the background is silenced, the true weight and personality of the design are free to command the frame completely.
Project Buffalo Zine · Buffalo Zine #20 Fall/Winter 2024 Covers
Buffalo Zine #20 Fall/Winter 2024 features a series of editorial covers that lean into a distinct, collage-based visual language.
