About

Afterglow, a striking editorial fashion series produced for Numero Netherlands, serves as a masterclass in the evocative power of light and shadow. Under the creative direction of Alexandre Dornellas, who also provided the precise fashion styling, the project leans into a rigorous monochromatic palette that elevates the luxury fashion aesthetic. Photographer Jonathan Wolpert employs an uncompromising low-key and chiaroscuro technique, utilizing studio strobe lighting to carve out architectural silhouettes and sharp, graphic textures against profound darkness. The series captures a series of contemplative portraits that feel both cinematic and intimate, with Silvio Giorgio’s meticulous hair styling playing a pivotal role in defining the sculptural quality of each composition. From the inclusion of ethereal feather detailing to sleek, high-fashion structural garments, the work is anchored by a deliberate interplay of negative space and high-contrast illumination. The result is a refined, minimalist body of work that channels a sophisticated mood, inviting viewers to focus on the interplay between the human form and the dramatic geometry of the lighting design. By embracing a moody, polished visual language, the team succeeds in transforming high-end apparel into conceptual art, ensuring that every frame resonates with a sense of quiet intensity and modern elegance.
