Cosmopolitan Italy features Italian actress and personality Mariasole Pollio in a series of editorial portraits that explore diverse textures and urban settings. Captured by photographer Simone Paccini, the series moves between candid moments on city streets and composed fashion photography, utilizing a mix of high-contrast flash and soft natural light.
The imagery juxtaposes high-fashion elements against everyday environments, such as convenience store aisles and historic street corners. Stylistic approaches range from vibrant, saturated color palettes to monochrome, tactile portraits that lean into a retro and playful aesthetic.
