This week's top Sixteen Journal projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Sixteen Journal · Places of Worship
Sixteen Journal’s 'Places of Worship' is an expansive editorial series that explores the intersection of coastal isolation and human artifice. Photographed by Michael Bailey Gates, the project leans into a raw, tactile aesthetic, utilizing monochrome film to examine themes of solitude and surrealism within weathered, rustic environments. With fashion styling by Shawn Lakin, the series moves between candid portraiture and highly staged tableau, featuring appearances by Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Jane Moseley, and Bailey Gates himself. The imagery emphasises organic textures—ranging from sun-drenched dune grasses and sea-swept timber to concrete and stone—to create a cohesive, earthy atmosphere. Hair by Rob Talty, makeup by Sandy Ganzer, and set design by Ava Villafañe provide a nuanced, polished layer to the otherwise elemental and moody compositions.
Project Sixteen Journal · They Named it Twice
Sixteen Journal explores cinematic history and architectural relics in the editorial project 'They Named it Twice.' Photographer Mark Mahaney documents a series of archival objects, ranging from Orson Welles' nose mold to vintage 35mm cinema equipment and iconic New York filming locations. The series utilizes analogue film techniques to bridge the gap between historical artifacts and contemporary photography. By incorporating clean, monochrome compositions alongside long-exposure captures of urban nightscapes, the work maintains a moody, documentary-focused aesthetic that emphasizes industrial texture and nostalgic detail.
Project Sixteen Journal · Mumbai
Sixteen Journal presents Mumbai, an evocative documentary and editorial series by photographer Bharat Sikka. Through a observational lens, the project captures the interplay of light, shadow, and architecture across the urban landscape, from the intimate interiors of vintage cinema halls to expansive coastal vistas. The series leans into a documentary aesthetic, utilizing natural light and an earthy, desaturated color palette to frame daily life. By documenting both solitary portraits and expansive environmental shots, the work examines the textures and atmosphere of the city through a moody and authentic lens.
Project Sixteen Journal · Sixteen Journal April 2025 Covers
Sixteen Journal presents a series of visual narratives for its April 2025 covers, reflecting an editorial approach to portraiture and movement. The project explores diverse aesthetic modes, ranging from high-contrast studio portraiture with dramatic lighting to raw, documentary-style captures featuring outdoor motion. Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Xavier Encinas, the series employs a mix of clean, high-key studio setups and moody, monochromatic compositions. Technical execution varies from analogue-inspired grain to sharp, cool-toned imagery, grounded by consistent graphic typography. Photography contributions include work by Emily Lipson, Jack Davison, Joe Lai, and Sonia Szóstak, with fashion direction overseen by Victoire Simonney and Ai Kamoshita.
Project Sixteen Journal · Kristine Lindseth for Sixteen Journal
This fashion editorial for Sixteen Journal features model Kristine Lindseth in a series of highly textured, analogue portraits. Photographer Sonia Szóstak captures the subject through a raw, nostalgic lens, utilizing visible film grain, natural light, and high-contrast monochrome tones to emphasize both form and garment detail. The production leans into a stripped-back studio aesthetic, with set design by Michał Zomer and casting by Julia Asaro. Hair by Dora Roberti and makeup by Marianna Yurkiewicz provide a consistent, polished finish that anchors the varied compositions, which range from intimate, soft-focus portraits to contact-sheet style grids that highlight the mechanics of the film process.
Project Sixteen Journal · SCREEN TEST
Sixteen Journal presents SCREEN TEST, a fashion editorial series that explores structured silhouettes and dramatic styling. Through a mix of vibrant, saturated backdrops and neutral studio settings, the project highlights contrasting textures—from voluminous faux fur and layered pinstripes to sheer drapery and graphic prints. Photographer Felix Cooper captures the collection with a consistent editorial polish, utilizing soft, directional lighting to emphasize the sculptural qualities of each ensemble. The imagery, styled by Victoire Simonney, features model Luna Passos across various, distinct looks. Behind-the-scenes artistry is provided by hair stylist Diego Da Silva and makeup artist Caroline Fenouil, with set design by Felix Gesnouin. The editorial leans into minimalist and clean aesthetics, occasionally integrating elements of analogue film and monochromatic compositions to refine the visual narrative.
