InStyle U.S.: Manny Jacinto

Jul 2025

This editorial feature for InStyle U.S. profiles actor Manny Jacinto through a series of intimate, domestic-focused portraits. Photographed by Ryan Pfluger, the project leverages natural light and a muted, warm palette to create a clean, accessible aesthetic that leans into soft, tactile textures like chunky knits and layered bedroom settings. Creative direction by Jenna Brillhart ties the session together with a minimalist approach, opting for candid, contemplative framing that emphasizes the subject's presence over complex staging. The production relies on sophisticated styling by Ilaria Urbinati and Kevin Huynh, who paired heritage-inspired knitwear with contemporary pieces, while set design by Amy Jo Diaz grounds the portraits in light-filled, modern interiors. A selection of the imagery incorporates analogue film-inspired details, including vertical sprocket borders, to lend a nostalgic quality to the editorial work.
