Love Want: Becoming Whitney Peak

Jan 2023

Becoming Whitney Peak is an intimate fashion editorial for Love Want, capturing the actor through a series of evocative, character-focused portraits. Moving between minimalist studio environments and clean interior settings, the project explores the interplay between classic tailoring and textured textiles. Photographer Bart Celestino drives the visual narrative, utilizing natural light and high-contrast monochrome techniques to emphasize the subject's voluminous hair and structured silhouettes. The imagery channels a timeless aesthetic through the use of analogue film, balancing gritty, chiaroscuro-inspired close-ups with more relaxed, warm-toned portraits. Collaborating on the project are fashion stylist Ashlee Barrett-bourmier, hairstylist Claudio Belizario, and make-up artist Ruby Mazuel, whose contributions highlight intricate details like lace collars and plaid patterns. Additional creative input for the series was provided by Virginie Mataja.
