AnOther Man Magazine: A movement study by Viviane Sassen and Raphael Hirsch

Dec 2025

Photographer Viviane Sassen and fashion editor Raphael Hirsch collaborate on a conceptual movement study for AnOther Man Magazine. The editorial series examines the intersection of the human form, graphic geometry, and architecture, utilizing large circular hoops and metal apparatuses as focal points for motion. The project channels a range of visual languages, shifting between high-contrast monochrome studies and saturated color blocking. Whether shot outdoors against clear blue skies or within controlled studio environments, the work leans into hard, directional lighting to cast dramatic silhouettes. The execution highlights athletic poses and deconstructed tailoring, with makeup artistry by Irena Ruben and casting by Michiel van Maaren adding layers of tactile texture to the performance-led photography.
