About

This striking monochrome image from the project Blackout for U Repubblica features three male models captured in a tightly composed, moody portrait. Photographed by David Sims with fashion styling by Max Pearmain, the composition relies on dramatic lighting and strong shadows to highlight form and texture. Hair styling by Paul Hanlon and set design by Poppy Bartlett complete the sophisticated visual direction. Casting was handled by Piergiorgio Del Moro, with production by Erin Fee and model Finn Collins.
