Numero Netherlands: Lure of the sea

May 2025

Lure of the Sea is a fashion editorial series for Numero Netherlands, captured in a series of highly atmospheric portraits. The work leans into a moody, cinematic aesthetic, defined by low-key lighting and dramatic chiaroscuro that emphasizes sculptural silhouettes and intricate textile textures. The project features avant-garde styling, with models Eya Mariam and Wawa Li posing against deep blue and neon-lit backgrounds. Techniques such as motion blur and long exposure are used to introduce a sense of fluid movement to the still imagery. The editorial direction was led by Timotej Letonja, with fashion styling by Peninah Amanda, makeup artistry by Assia Caiazzo, and casting by Alexandre Junior Cyprien.
