U Repubblica The Sitting 2026

Description

This editorial portrait for U Repubblica's project The Sitting features a young male model seated gracefully on a patterned rug against a neutral interior wall. Photographed by Luca Strano with creative direction by Ben Kelway, the subject wears a dark black leather jacket over an unbuttoned white shirt adorned with dark polka dots, paired with wide-leg grey trousers and shiny black dress shoes. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the clean textures of the garments and the relaxed yet posed posture of the model. Hair styling by Marco Minunno completes the polished aesthetic of the shoot.
