Love Want: Montell Fisch, Issue 34

Jun 2024

Love Want’s 34th issue presents an immersive profile of musician Montell Fish, documenting his creative process and live performance through a series of stark, high-contrast monochrome portraits. Photographed by Simon Lekias, the series moves between the quiet intensity of the studio and the atmospheric tension of the stage, utilizing low-key lighting and cinematic framing to capture the artist's focus. With editorial oversight from Editor-in-Chief Bart Celestino, the feature leans into a gritty, analogue aesthetic that emphasizes architectural depth and shadow. The project highlights both the solitary nature of musicianship and the raw energy of live performance, employing chiaroscuro techniques to define the textures of the artist’s environment.
