Project Cosmopolitan Italy · Riccardo De Rinaldis
In a masterclass of restraint and editorial precision, this striking portrait series for Cosmopolitan Italy features actor Riccardo De Rinaldis in a performance of quiet intensity. Photographer Simone Paccini leans into the conventions of high-end editorial photography, stripping away narrative clutter to focus entirely on the subject's presence. By utilizing a neutral grey studio background and a controlled mix of studio strobe and natural light, Paccini captures De Rinaldis with a technical clarity that elevates the simple portrait into a study of texture and shadow. The choice of a structured, dark leather jacket with a prominent high collar provides a sharp, sculptural contrast to the softness of the subject’s styled curls, grounding the image in the elevated vernacular of luxury fashion houses. Every frame feels deliberate, favoring clean lines and an unwavering gaze that commands attention without relying on artifice. This project serves as a compelling reminder that when the focus is sharpened to the interplay between light, fabric, and human expression, the results are timeless. By blending these classic techniques, Paccini successfully bridges the gap between contemporary celebrity portraiture and the heritage aesthetic of legacy glossies, proving that the most impactful fashion imagery often resides in the space between meticulous composition and raw, unfiltered charisma.
Project Cosmopolitan Italy · Francamente «Questa sono io. E mi piace»
In a striking editorial collaboration for Cosmopolitan Italy, photographer Cosimo Buccolieri captures a raw, intimate exploration of identity titled Francamente: Questa sono io. E mi piace. Moving beyond traditional luxury fashion house conventions, the series leans into an aesthetic of deliberate minimalism, utilizing the stark, industrial backdrop of a concrete-heavy space to ground the high-concept apparel. Fashion editor and stylist Simone Guidarelli curates a bold narrative centered on texture and form, most notably featuring a voluminous, deep olive green garment adorned with long, dramatic fringe that creates a shifting silhouette against the room’s austere grey walls. Each portrait is defined by a moody atmosphere, where soft, directional natural light carves out the details of the subject’s face and the intricate construction of the clothing. Hair stylist Daniel Manzini reinforces this sharp, contemporary edge, opting for slicked-back styles and a distinct side-shaved undercut that complements the subjects' confident, direct gaze. By balancing the grit of an industrial setting with the refined softness of human portraiture, the project succeeds as a powerful editorial statement. It rejects the overly polished standard of modern fashion photography in favor of a raw, authentic vulnerability that feels both timeless and aggressively current, placing the focus squarely on the relationship between individual identity and the tactile materiality of luxury design.
