Description
This portrait of singer Mario was photographed by Benjo Arwas for Numero Netherlands as part of the project In Conversation with Mario, with editorial direction by Timotej Letonja and Jana Letonja, and hair styling by Remy Moore. The subject is a black man in his 30s seated against a neutral grey studio backdrop. He wears a structured black blazer over a bare chest, showcasing visible neck and torso tattoos. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows that accentuate the tailored lines of the jacket. Yellow typographic text overlaid on the frame includes the project title and magazine branding.
