Project

Side-note · A modern matter

In A modern matter, Side-note presents a sophisticated exploration of contemporary style, balancing the precision of luxury fashion houses with an effortless, candid energy. Through a series of compelling frames, the project bridges the gap between high-end editorial and intimate lifestyle photography. Photographer Julia Champeau anchors the collection, utilizing natural light and deliberate, clean compositions to elevate the textures of the garments. Stylist Roberta Console plays a pivotal role in this narrative, juxtaposing sculptural silhouettes—such as bell-shaped skirts and voluminous tulle gowns—with unexpected, grounded accents like leopard print boots and vintage-inspired accessories. The aesthetic is defined by a rigorous focus on material contrast, where intricate lace, croc-embossed leather, and vibrant retro textiles are set against minimalist, neutral backdrops. Model Nadine Kirilova brings a versatile, direct presence to the work, moving seamlessly between the poise of a studio-style portrait and the voyeuristic, urban candidness captured in high-contrast black and white. With refined makeup artistry by Elena Bettanello, the imagery maintains a polished yet organic feel throughout. By leaning into these deliberate tensions, the project succeeds in creating a modern visual language that feels both curated and reachable, perfectly encapsulating the evolving identity of the Side-note brand within the competitive luxury fashion industry landscape.

Side-note · Aubri Ibrag

In the refined world of luxury fashion, Side-note presents a sophisticated editorial series that distills the essence of contemporary style into a series of striking, intentional portraits. Featuring model Aubri Ibrag, the campaign is a masterclass in editorial minimalism, leaning into a monochromatic color palette that allows the interplay of texture and silhouette to take center stage. Through the lens of photographer Dafy Hagai, each frame is meticulously composed against a neutral grey backdrop, effectively stripping away distraction to focus on the interplay between luxury garments and the subject’s composed, direct gaze. The styling, curated by Caitlin Moriarty, balances casual ease with sharp, structured accessories, while the beauty direction by hair stylist Lachlan Mackie and makeup artist Georgina Graham emphasizes a natural, luminous aesthetic that feels both timeless and current. By utilizing a hybrid approach of soft studio strobe lighting and natural light, the production captures a clean, cinematic quality that highlights the intricate details of knitwear, leather, and semi-sheer fabrics. This project serves as a compelling study in portrait photography, where the deliberate framing and soft lighting emphasize a modern, polished sensibility. It is an evocative look at how minimalist fashion storytelling can command attention through simple, powerful composition and a cohesive, understated visual language that resonates across the luxury sector.

Side-note · ALL I EVER WANTED

The latest campaign from Side-note, titled ALL I EVER WANTED, serves as a masterclass in editorial portraiture, seamlessly blending the line between commercial allure and high-concept artistry. The project captures a series of intimate, contemplative moments that lean into natural light to highlight the raw, organic beauty of the subject, model Sabine Glud. Working with the vision of fashion editor and stylist Emma Kalfus, the imagery oscillates between serene, aquatic-inspired compositions and stark, studio-driven setups. Whether posing against a dramatic, saturated backdrop or reclining on a rugged coastline, the aesthetic remains grounded in a sophisticated, neutral color palette that emphasizes the tactile qualities of the styling. The jewelry takes center stage, with layered baroque pearls and intricate metalwork serving as the narrative heartbeat of the series. By utilizing techniques ranging from cinematic underwater shots to classic studio strobe lighting, the team creates a visual language that feels both timeless and deeply current. The photography moves beyond simple product placement, opting instead to build a world where subtle, delicate accessories are elevated through textured layering and intentional, candid postures. This editorial campaign effectively positions the brand within a refined lifestyle context, celebrating a soft, authentic elegance that feels both curated and effortlessly attainable throughout every frame.

Side-note · Shabana Azeez

In this striking series for Side-note, titled Shabana Azeez, the aesthetic language of luxury fashion houses is reimagined through an evocative, editorial lens. The project moves beyond conventional commercial photography, opting instead for a deliberate, cinematic approach that prioritizes the interplay between light, shadow, and sculptural silhouette. By utilizing a mix of 35mm film and digital portraiture, the collection captures the model in various states of quiet focus, from the raw, urban edge of a chain-link fence backdrop to the minimalist precision of a studio environment. The styling highlights a range of textures, from high-contrast fringe elements to structured, oversized hooded jackets that lend the imagery a distinct, contemporary gravity. Throughout the work, natural light serves as a primary tool to define facial features and accentuate the matte and reflective surfaces of the garments. With hair styling by Koh, the compositions lean into a low-key chiaroscuro technique, fostering an intimate, often moody atmosphere that feels both timeless and grounded. The result is a sophisticated exploration of form that reads as a masterclass in editorial minimalism. Each frame serves as a testament to the power of deliberate composition, effectively blending the sharp geometric lines of the settings with the fluid, dynamic movement of the clothing to create a cohesive and deeply resonant visual narrative.
