Justsmile Magazine

Oct 2025

For Issue 7 of Justsmile Magazine, titled "Family Matters," the editorial team presents a poignant exploration of intergenerational connection through the lens of contemporary menswear. Captured by photographer Emmanuel Sanchez Monsalve, the series leans into a refined, narrative aesthetic, utilizing dense garden settings and clean studio backdrops to highlight the interplay between structured tailoring and intimate portraiture. Creative direction by Bryce Thomas and fashion styling by Yashua Simmons define the visual language of the project, which emphasizes rich textures—heavy wools, tweed overcoats, and structured knitwear—against an earthy color palette. The imagery makes consistent use of natural light to evoke a sense of warmth and reflection, often employing an analogue film aesthetic that heightens the raw, tactile quality of the wardrobe details. Throughout the series, the composition remains balanced and formal, focusing on the nuanced relationships between the subjects.
