Issue South America

Jun 2025

This editorial feature for Issue South America centers on the fluid physicality of principal dancer Calvin Royal III. Captured by photographer Myrthe Giesbers, the series prioritizes sculptural form and precise gesture, utilizing a mix of high-speed freeze techniques and atmospheric monochrome compositions. The imagery moves between minimalist studio backdrops and constrained industrial settings, highlighting the interplay between the human physique and textile-driven silhouettes. The project benefits from the detailed coordination of fashion editor Jorge Morales, whose styling incorporates layered, patterned garments to accentuate motion. Movement director Jorge Dorsinville ensures each pose maintains rigorous balletic structure, while makeup artist Whittany Robinson provides the refined finishing touches required for these editorial stills. The result is a study in grace and strength, presented with a clean, deliberate aesthetic.
