Description

Issue South America presents The Graduate: Valentin, a fashion editorial capturing a series of stylized, studio-based portraits. The imagery leans into a minimalist aesthetic, utilizing high-contrast monochrome tones and sharp directional lighting to define silhouette and texture. Photographer Mariano Vivanco explores classic cinematic tropes, moving from tailored suiting and clean portraiture to intimate, retro-inspired vignettes. Styling by Christopher Maul emphasizes structured garments, textured knitwear, and vintage accessories, while hair stylist Issac Poleon and makeup artist Joey Choy provide polished grooming that complements the clean, neutral backdrops. Casting director Dean Goodman completes the creative team for this portrait-focused series featuring model Valentin Humbroich.
