About

Captured in the stark, expansive beauty of an arid desert, the editorial project ALEK for Numero Netherlands presents a high-fashion exploration of volume and texture. Photographer and creative director Bruno Unikowsky utilizes a raw, natural light-driven aesthetic to frame model Alek Deng against rugged mountain terrain and desolate rocky shores. The imagery leans into a blend of monochromatic intensity and earthy, desaturated tones. Architectural silhouettes—ranging from exaggerated, sculptural shoulder pads to voluminous, ruched fabrics—are set against the natural geometry of the desert landscape. The execution captures a narrative style that emphasizes movement and mood, favoring clean lines and high-contrast, chiaroscuro lighting. With oversight from Editor-in-Chief Timotej Letonja and Head of Editorial Content Jana Letonja, the project bridges cinematic portraiture with documentary-inflected landscape photography.
