Esquire Portugal: Sleeping Beauties doesn’t sleep

Jul 2026

For this editorial story in Esquire Portugal, photographer Giuseppe Vitariello captures a series of portraits and group compositions. The project spans a range of environments, utilising both natural light and high-contrast, hard light setups to define the mood across varied locations, from graffiti-marked urban walls to textured brick exteriors. The feature highlights models Milhan Bouzidi, Lea Petanovic, and Vika Reza, leaning into a mix of monochrome and warm-toned aesthetics. Styling draws on athletic and casual elements, including striped rugby tops, baseball caps, and patterned knitwear, creating a textured visual narrative that defines this magazine editorial project.
