About

Numéro Netherlands presents 'In Conversation with Mario,' an editorial feature highlighting the singer and actor through a series of dynamic studio portraits. Captured by photographer Benjo Arwas, the session leans into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, balancing structured tailoring with relaxed silhouettes. The series utilizes soft, directional lighting and vibrant seamless backdrops to create a high-contrast, polished look. Certain frames incorporate a distinct grainy film texture, grounding the editorial in a contemporary analogue style. The production was overseen by editor-in-chief Timotej Letonja and head of editorial content Jana Letonja, with hair styling provided by Remy Moore.
