Lewis Magazine · EL VERANO: JERÔNIMO OTTO

For the El Verano editorial in Lewis Magazine, photographer Muraca documents model Jerônimo Otto in a coastal series that leans into raw, atmospheric storytelling. Shot against rugged shorelines and dramatic rock formations, the project utilises an analogue film aesthetic, complete with visible grain and contact sheet frames that evoke a nostalgic mood. The imagery oscillates between moody, high-contrast monochrome portraits and sun-drenched, golden hour scenes that highlight the textures of the landscape. Throughout the series, natural light plays a central role in framing the subject against the elements. The work maintains a consistent, cinematic register, using deliberate colour grading to shift between a gritty, desaturated palette and warm, expansive tones. The result is a tactile exploration of solitude and coastal environment, presented through a clean, vertical photographic approach.
