The 'Boys' project for PAP Magazine presents a series of evocative editorial portraits that explore fluid aesthetics and theatrical styling.

Makeup artist Giovanni Iovine defines the series' visual language, pairing dramatic theatrical face paint and bold lip colors with intricately sculpted, voluminous hair and period-inspired accessories like naval sailor caps and pleated ruff collars. Techniques such as soft-focus diffusion, intentional motion blur, and subtle cinematic vignetting emphasize a painterly, often moody quality. The editorial presents a cohesive study in contrast, set against neutral and gradient studio backdrops that highlight the structured, sculptural poses of the subjects.
Project PAP Magazine · lienzo y surco
Lienzo y Surco for PAP Magazine is a masterclass in editorial minimalism, where high-fashion sensibility converges with organic, earthy textures.

The series channels a clean, cinematic aesthetic, utilizing soft light and intentional chiaroscuro to highlight the tactile qualities of luxury garments—ranging from sheer, patterned knits to structured blazers and whimsical headpieces. By juxtaposing the sharp lines of contemporary fashion against rustic props like woven baskets and fresh poblano peppers, the campaign leans into a narrative of contrast, where the stark, neutral studio environment serves as a canvas for a deliberate and artistic exploration of style. The portraiture is marked by a sophisticated balance of poise and movement, with the model’s athletic frame providing a solid foundation for the complex layering of textiles and foliage. Each frame functions as a study in composition, capturing a mood that is at once contemplative and striking. Through its careful attention to detail and polished execution, the project successfully elevates the commercial fashion editorial, offering a refined, multisensory experience that feels both timely and timeless within the industry.

Project PAP Magazine · JEQUITIBA
In the striking JEQUITIBA editorial for PAP Magazine, photographer Muraca masterfully explores the intersection of organic textures and high-fashion minimalism. This portrait series features the expressive work of model Rosario Saidi, who anchors a series of compositions defined by their tactile intensity and sophisticated, earth-toned palette. The project leans into a deliberate fusion of natural elements—such as dense moss, rustic wood, and delicate chrysanthemum petals—with the architectural complexity of feathered and beaded couture garments. Through a blend of studio strobe and soft natural light, the visual narrative oscillates between intimate, contemplative portraiture and dynamic, cinematic movement. Techniques such as motion blur and low-key chiaroscuro lighting are employed to heighten the dramatic quality of the imagery, emphasizing both the model's form and the intricate detailing of the silhouettes. The result is a refined series that feels both grounded and ethereal, showcasing a deep sensitivity to surface and shadow. By pairing voluminous, textured fabrics against stark or moody backdrops, the collection creates a visual dialogue between the human subject and their environment, ultimately delivering an aesthetic that is as conceptually layered as it is visually arresting. The project succeeds by prioritizing a harmonious balance between fashion, artistry, and an almost sculptural approach to editorial photography, cementing its place as a standout visual exploration within the luxury fashion space.
Project PAP Magazine · Lush
Lush, a compelling beauty campaign for PAP Magazine, masterfully channels the spirit of avant-garde high fashion through an expansive series of striking imagery. Captured with the expert lens of photographer Jordi Terry, the project leans into the tension between theatrical maximalism and disciplined, editorial minimalism. Each frame is a masterclass in composition, utilizing both meticulous studio strobe lighting to carve out sharp, geometric silhouettes and soft natural light to breathe life into delicate fabric textures. The work is defined by its bold, experimental approach to beauty, where bleached brows and heavy, charcoal-toned smoky eyeshadow serve as the primary conduits for self-expression. By pairing stark, crisp white garments and structured tailoring against saturated, hand-painted backdrops in teal, mustard, and amber, the series achieves a vibrant, cinematic quality that remains timeless. Through these portraits, the viewer is invited to explore the architecture of the face, where exaggerated eyelashes, feathered headpieces, and sharp bob haircuts transform each subject into a sculptural icon. Ultimately, Lush stands as a testament to the power of deliberate, high-contrast visual storytelling, proving that when the gaze is fixed and the aesthetic is unapologetically bold, the static portrait becomes a compelling narrative of style, texture, and refined creative intent.
Project PAP Magazine · CYBER RELICS
PAP Magazine’s editorial feature, CYBER RELICS, presents a series of portraits exploring futuristic streetwear through a highly detailed, clean aesthetic. The fashion editorial leans into a moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting style, emphasizing the interplay between organic forms and structured, metallic apparel textures. The project captures a range of silhouettes, from cropped leather jackets and technical harnesses to layered synthetic garments, set against minimalist architectural backdrops and sculptural elements. The series maintains a consistent, polished visual language across its vertical compositions, with professional retouching by Iunona Grenaderova.
Project PAP Magazine · Arkhé
For the latest project titled Arkhé, PAP Magazine delivers a masterclass in visual storytelling within the luxury fashion sector. This editorial campaign, led by photographer Ismael Prata and featuring model Gertruda Zilyte, masterfully explores the intersection of architectural form and high-fashion aesthetics. Through a series of striking portraits, the project leans into a bold monochromatic color palette, utilizing saturated red and cool blue backgrounds to frame avant-garde silhouettes. The execution relies heavily on studio strobe lighting to emphasize tactile textures, from slicked-back, wet-look hair and dewy skin to the sharp, sculptural lines of pleated garments and futuristic eyewear. Each composition serves as a dedicated portrait, capturing a raw, editorial minimalism that prioritizes the interplay of light, shadow, and fabric. By blending organic, anatomical prints with rigid, structural tailoring, the creative direction achieves a contemporary, high-contrast look that feels both precise and deliberate. Throughout the series, the consistent use of natural light in select frames provides a soft counterpoint to the more dramatic studio strobe techniques, grounding the artistic vision in a clean, sophisticated reality. This production exemplifies how editorial fashion can transcend traditional portraiture, transforming individual garments into profound, conceptual statements that define the current landscape of high-end imagery.
