D Repubblica About the journey, not the destination 2026

Description

This editorial portrait for D Repubblica, titled About the journey, not the destination, captures model Maelle Swaelens seated inside the interior cabin of a ferry. Photographed by Marco Lessi with makeup by Giulia Cigarini, the composition plays with natural sunlight streaming through large side windows, casting sharp diagonal shadows across the tables and seating. The subject wears a dark top and is captured mid-gesture with her hand raised to block the bright light. The interior features green upholstered booth seating, pale tabletops, and mirrored panels reflecting the luminous environment. The warm color grading and candid framing emphasize a quiet, reflective mood during transit.
