About

DUSK is a nuanced fashion editorial project produced for Behind the Blinds, exploring the intersection of human anatomy and light. Through a collection of diptychs and layered compositions, the series leans into low-key chiaroscuro lighting to sculpt the form of model Piotr Kubiak. The execution emphasizes raw skin textures, muscular contours, and a cinematic sensibility that shifts between deep, high-contrast monochrome and muted, atmospheric colour palettes. Captured by photographer Joey Leo, the work adopts an intimate and introspective tone. By pairing close-up macro details with broader anatomical studies, the editorial creates a rhythm of tension and release. The project integrates elements of analogue film aesthetics and gritty, matte finishes to ground the portraiture in a minimalist studio environment.
