Project Sicky Magazine · Skin As Artifact
In Skin As Artifact, photographer Jose Carvajal pushes the boundaries of jewelry photography, moving beyond traditional product staging to create a visceral, high-fashion exploration of adornment for Sicky Magazine. The editorial project leans into the duality of precious metals and human anatomy, where jewelry acts as both a decorative accessory and a structural extension of the body. Through a diverse array of techniques—including atmospheric 35mm film, sharp studio strobe lighting, and evocative low-key chiaroscuro—Carvajal captures a series of portraits that feel simultaneously intimate and architectural. The aesthetic is defined by its clean, minimalist approach, punctuated by macro details that highlight the tactile weight of gold and silver against skin. By placing statement pieces like stacked ear cuffs and intricate gemstone rings within highly controlled color palettes, the imagery emphasizes a sculptural quality, treating each frame as a fine art composition. The project oscillates between bright, high-contrast portraiture and moody, cinematic lighting, creating a rhythm that keeps the viewer anchored in the technical mastery of the craft. From the slicked-back hair of the subjects to the deliberate play of shadows across jawlines, Skin As Artifact reads as a sophisticated visual study in ornamentation, successfully balancing commercial polish with an avant-garde editorial sensibility that challenges conventional fashion photography norms.

The aesthetic leans into a sophisticated, monochromatic palette, highlighted by the intricate work of fashion editor and stylist Danny Santiago. The wardrobe ranges from deep crimson leather ensembles to ornate, embellished teal gowns and structured tailored coats. Hair stylist Gianluca Mandelli provides a consistent visual signature throughout the project, often framing the subject with short, textured, or wet-look curls that underscore the refined, editorial tone of the collection. The series makes extensive use of natural light, alternating between high-contrast hard sunlight and soft, diffused ambient conditions to accentuate the textures of the fabrics and the geometric lines of the city.

The aesthetic ranges from monochrome to high-saturation, utilizing varied lighting techniques—from soft, diffused studio light to raw, high-contrast flash.

Project Sicky Magazine · Rare Form
In Rare Form, a compelling fashion editorial spread produced for Sicky Magazine, photographer Jose Carvajal masterfully navigates the intersection of human anatomy and high-end accessories. The series functions as a visual study in textures, utilizing a sophisticated interplay of cinematic lighting and clean, minimalist framing to elevate jewelry and eyewear into the primary subject matter. By cycling through a range of moods—from the dramatic intensity of low-key chiaroscuro portraits to the soft, even luminosity of beauty light—Carvajal creates a cohesive narrative that feels both avant-garde and commercially resonant. The project leans into an editorial minimalism that strips away environmental clutter, allowing the intricate details of gold-toned chains, pearl-drop earrings, and metallic wrap-around sunglasses to take center stage against stark, neutral backdrops. Whether capturing the muscular contour of a bare shoulder or the delicate drape of a silk headscarf, the work consistently prioritizes skin texture and metallic sheen. The execution relies heavily on soft light and deliberate composition to bridge the gap between structured studio photography and fluid, lifelike poses. Ultimately, Rare Form stands as a testament to the power of controlled, directional illumination in fashion storytelling, proving that when the focus is sharpened to the minute details of adornment, the resulting imagery transcends the traditional constraints of standard commercial lookbooks.

Featuring the striking presence of model Blessing Ifeoluwa, this series leans into a bold, minimalist aesthetic that allows the intricate details of luxury fashion to take center stage. Through a series of high-contrast compositions, the project utilizes a mix of low-key chiaroscuro lighting and crisp, high-key studio setups to emphasize the sculptural qualities of the garments. From military-inspired jackets adorned with intricate gold braiding to futuristic metallic corsetry, every piece is rendered with a graphic sensibility that feels both timeless and aggressively modern. The interplay between saturated monochromatic backdrops—ranging from deep red and vibrant orange to stark white—creates a deliberate tension, allowing the textures of leather, fur, and ornate metalwork to pop against the negative space. By employing nuanced soft light techniques, the shoot achieves a polished, editorial finish that avoids excess, focusing instead on the architectural silhouette of the clothing and the intense, deliberate posture of the subject. This project serves as a testament to the power of deliberate, clean studio photography, successfully elevating the editorial format into a cinematic experience that resonates with contemporary luxury fashion houses.
Project Sicky Magazine · Heavy Metal
The Heavy Metal project for Sicky Magazine stands as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, seamlessly blending the rigorous precision of high-fashion photography with a tactile exploration of materiality. Captured through the lens of photographer Whiston and Butler, the series leans into a classic studio aesthetic, utilizing both crisp studio strobe and soft natural light to articulate the fine details of luxury garments. Featuring model Corinne Murray, the imagery channels an air of refined composure, where the architecture of a tailored houndstooth suit or the dramatic sheen of an olive green vinyl trench coat becomes the focal point. The editorial moves fluidly between portraiture and still life, creating a rhythmic visual language that celebrates everything from the delicate drape of satin to the structural weight of metallic accessories. By stripping away excess, the composition centers on the interplay of texture—be it the airy volume of a Swiss dot fabric or the solid, reflective polish of jewelry pieces. This work excels in its commitment to a restrained color palette, where subtle layering and geometric patterning are rendered with profound clarity. The result is a sophisticated narrative that feels both timeless and deeply intentional, proving that the quiet confidence of a well-executed fashion story remains the most resonant way to showcase the nuances of contemporary luxury houses.
Project Sicky Magazine · NOW AND THEM
In the latest editorial spread for Sicky Magazine, titled NOW AND THEM, photographer Elys Berroteran crafts a narrative that feels both timeless and grounded in the grit of urban life. This high-fashion photography series eschews color for a strictly monochromatic palette, allowing the stark textures of pinstripe blazers and abstract-print trousers to take center stage against a backdrop of architectural elements. By utilizing analogue film techniques and natural light, the work achieves a cinematic quality that transforms the subject into a figure of quiet, contemplative intensity. From the towering stone pillars to the iconic silhouette of the Brooklyn Bridge looming in the distance, the environment acts as a structural anchor for the model, whose presence balances between vulnerability and a sharp, composed strength. The images lean into an editorial minimalism, favoring tight, intimate framing that highlights the interplay between skin, textile, and light. Whether capturing a pensive moment on a metal railing or a direct, unflinching engagement with the camera, Berroteran employs a high-key approach that strips away distraction, focusing entirely on the interplay of shadow and form. It is a masterclass in modern fashion storytelling, where the clothing serves as an extension of the urban landscape rather than mere adornment, resulting in a cohesive visual study that feels both raw and elegantly refined.
Project Sicky Magazine · Bummer In The Summer
In Bummer In The Summer, Sicky Magazine leans into a sophisticated study of masculine identity, blending high-end fashion editorial sensibilities with a stripped-back, minimalist aesthetic. Through the lens of photographer Sarah Storch, the series serves as a masterclass in texture and intentional composition, utilizing both natural light and controlled studio strobe environments to articulate a modern narrative. Central to this project is model Max Bender, whose versatile range of expressions—from pensive and soft to intense and direct—anchors the visual storytelling. The editorial moves fluidly between clean, commercial portraiture and more avant-garde styling, incorporating delicate floral elements that contrast sharply against the ruggedness of leather jackets, charcoal wool, and intricate tattoo work. The project relies on editorial minimalism to maintain a sharp focus on its subject, often framing the model against neutral, muted backdrops that emphasize the tactile quality of the layered clothing. By eschewing over-production in favor of clarity and balance, the shoot effectively elevates the mundane into something sculptural. Whether capturing a quiet profile view or a striking high-contrast portrait, the imagery maintains a cohesive, refined energy that feels both contemporary and timeless, successfully demonstrating how a singular subject can embody a diverse spectrum of moods within a strictly controlled, deliberate visual framework.

Featuring model Lucy Arbuthnott, this extensive fashion campaign leans into the power of restraint, utilizing editorial minimalism to elevate contemporary silhouettes. The imagery masterfully blends high-contrast monochrome studio work with cinematic, natural light outdoor portraits, creating a cohesive visual narrative that feels both timeless and sharp. By incorporating elements of industrial geometry and organic textures—from crisp pinstriped shirts and structured blazers to tactile lace and metallic sequins—the project maintains a refined sensibility. The photography successfully captures a spectrum of moods, shifting from the contemplative solitude of suburban gardens to the deliberate, graphic precision of paper-airplane-inspired studio compositions. Through the recurring use of natural light and nuanced styling, Out of Play channels a sophisticated, off-kilter energy that prioritizes fabric texture and form over traditional artifice. Each frame feels like a deliberate choice, where the interaction between the subject's neutral expressions and the stark, clean backgrounds creates a portrait-heavy aesthetic that is both evocative and accessible.
