Numero Netherlands

Jun 2026

In this evocative fashion feature for Numero Netherlands, photographer Oleg Borisuk explores the intersection of human anatomy and urban geometry. Titled DOMINIK SCHMIDT, the series functions as a masterclass in editorial portraiture, utilizing a strict monochromatic palette to heighten the visual tension between the subject and his structural environment. Under the guidance of editor-in-chief Timotej Letonja and the sharp sartorial curation of fashion editor and stylist Kiss Márk, the project leans into a rigorous interplay of lines and shadow. Each frame captures Dominik Schmidt in poses that transform the human form into a sculptural element, whether he is suspended against grid-like concrete structures or arching backward against floor-to-ceiling glass. The work makes sophisticated use of natural light and chiaroscuro techniques to emphasize both the raw, tactile quality of technical fabrics and the stark minimalism of the setting. By stripping away color, Borisuk focuses the viewer on the interplay of volume and void, allowing the asymmetrical tailoring and knitwear details to command attention. The result is a series that feels both cinematic and grounded, bridging the gap between high-end luxury fashion and the gritty reality of urban landscape. Through this disciplined, high-contrast aesthetic, the team delivers a compelling meditation on poise, structure, and modern masculine silhouette, proving that simplicity remains the most powerful tool in contemporary fashion photography.
