Harper's Bazaar Vietnam: Model and Principal Dancer

Dec 2025

Captured by photographer Julian Freyberg, this editorial series for Harper's Bazaar Vietnam highlights the movement and poise of principal dancer and model Matteo Miccini. Set against lush garden backdrops, parks, and quiet streetscapes, the imagery leans into a classic, tactile aesthetic that prioritizes texture and form. The series utilises natural light throughout, oscillating between soft, monochrome daylight and warm golden hour tones. By incorporating techniques such as analogue-style grain and dynamic motion blur, the work emphasizes the interplay between tailored menswear and the organic, earthy environment. The portraiture is defined by shallow depth of field and high-contrast composition, framing the subject amidst dense foliage and weathered stonework.
