1883 Magazine

Sep 2025

Yorubá is a sweeping fashion editorial feature produced for 1883 Magazine. Captured by photographer Gustavo Chams, the project explores aquatic and organic themes through a blend of studio compositions and coastal location shoots, leaning into surrealist imagery and avant-garde styling. The series emphasizes rich, tactile surfaces, juxtaposing intricate hair work and natural elements like shells and faux fur against both expansive beach landscapes and minimalist studio backdrops. The execution transitions between gritty, monochrome film aesthetics and polished beauty lighting, employing varied techniques such as chiaroscuro and long-exposure motion blur to create atmospheric, painterly frames.
