About

Radical Hope is a multi-layered fashion editorial for Coeval Magazine that explores sculptural form and avant-garde styling through a series of surreal compositions. The project leans into a moody, high-contrast aesthetic, often utilising chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the dramatic impact of its subjects. Photographer and creative director Joaquin Castillo anchors the series, collaborating closely with stylist Gabriel Held to craft imagery that often features stark, monochrome palettes and unconventional posing. The editorial integrates textured garments, industrial backdrops, and graphic elements, with hair styling by Isaac Davidson completing the raw, deliberate look of the shoot.
