1883 Magazine: Yorubá

Sep 2025

Yorubá is a sweeping fashion editorial feature published in 1883 Magazine, exploring themes of aquatic surrealism and organic texture. Photographer Gustavo Chams documents a series of avant-garde silhouettes and intricate styling, moving between expansive coastal landscapes and controlled studio environments. The work leans into a tactile aesthetic, utilizing natural light and chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the interplay between the human form and environmental elements. Across the series, the imagery captures a diverse range of visual narratives, from gritty, high-contrast monochrome portraits to surreal, minimalist studio compositions. The project emphasizes fine detail, featuring elaborate shell-work, layered textile fringes, and voluminous tulle, all set against both stark seamless backdrops and natural, earthy terrain.
