Love Want: The Acceptance Issue

Jan 2024

The Acceptance Issue for Love Want explores sculptural form and raw texture through a series of stark editorial portraits. Photographed by Paul Scala, the series leans into a stripped-back aesthetic, utilizing natural light and high-contrast monochrome grading to emphasize the contours of the subjects and their surroundings. Throughout the project, the focus remains on minimalism, with compositions that highlight subtle details—from the grain of charred wood to the delicate placement of a floating feather. The visual narrative is defined by the collaborative efforts of set designer Felix Jerome Grech and make-up artist Gillian Campbell, whose contributions help shape the clean, cinematic mood. Fashion styling by Jessica Dos Remedios ties the production together, favouring simple silhouettes and tactile fabrics that underscore the project's analytical approach to editorial photography.
