Featured The Travel Almanac projects
This week's top The Travel Almanac projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project The Travel Almanac · Artefacts
In the curated series Artefacts, photographers Angèle Moraiz and Paul Mougeot collaborate to elevate the fragrance and beauty landscape through a masterclass in product photography. By treating each vessel as a sculptural centerpiece, the project shifts the focus from mere packaging to an exploration of form, texture, and materiality. The visual narrative leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing precise studio strobe lighting to emphasize the juxtaposition between industrial design and natural elements. Working closely with set designer César Sebastien, the team crafts an evocative environment where the tactile grain of weathered stone and dark wood meets the sleek, reflective surfaces of luxury glass. From the bird-adorned ceramic of Dries Van Noten to the organic, sculptural cap of a Nasomatto bottle, each frame is meticulously composed to invite a deep appreciation for craft. The series expertly employs low-key and chiaroscuro techniques, casting deep shadows that give the imagery a moody, fine art sensibility while maintaining the commercial clarity required for high-end beauty branding. By stripping away the surrounding noise, Moraiz and Mougeot transform these everyday commodities into profound objects of desire, turning the commercial act of product display into an immersive study of light and structure. The result is a sophisticated body of work that highlights the delicate balance of contrast and symmetry, solidifying the artistic potential inherent in contemporary fragrance design.
Project The Travel Almanac · Chef Francis Mallman
In a sophisticated visual exploration of the intersection between culinary artistry and high-end hospitality, photographer Courtney Sofiah Yates captures chef Francis Mallmann in a series that transcends traditional food and beverage portraiture. This editorial project documents the iconic chef within an upscale restaurant environment, masterfully utilizing cinematic techniques to mirror the depth and gravitas of his reputation. By embracing natural light, Yates constructs an intimate, atmospheric narrative where the gilded aesthetics of the dining room—defined by plush red velvet booths and intricate, branching light fixtures—become as much a character in the composition as the subject himself. The imagery leans heavily into a rich, jewel-toned palette that emphasizes the textures of Mallmann’s signature layered attire, from his textured brown jacket to his vibrant patterned scarf. These portraits read as both candid and carefully considered, focusing on contemplative, quiet moments that feel removed from the heat of the kitchen. Through a keen eye for architectural reflection and deep, moody shadow, the series achieves a refined lifestyle appeal that feels grounded and authentic. Rather than relying on overt culinary staging, the work celebrates the environment of the restaurant as a stage, utilizing dramatic interior details to frame the chef’s presence in a way that feels timeless, evocative, and deeply connected to the sensory experience of refined dining.
