Description

ROOTS is a striking fashion editorial produced for Numéro Netherlands, offering a documentary-style exploration of youth and camaraderie. Photographed by Inês Santos, the series utilizes a high-contrast monochrome palette to emphasize sculptural anatomy and the rigid, geometric textures of brutalist architecture. Captured in raw, natural light, the work oscillates between intimate portraiture and candid action shots set against urban sports courts and residential concrete stairways. The aesthetic leans into a gritty, analogue film feel, where the interplay of sharp shadows and direct sunlight highlights the candid movements and relaxed streetwear styling of the subjects. Inês Santos delivers this project with production support from Ariadna Iglesias and makeup artistry by Diogo Ribeiro.
