Numero Netherlands

Jul 2026

Shifting Colours, a striking fashion editorial produced for Numero Netherlands, masterfully navigates the boundary between human form and conceptual still life. Through the lens of photographer Joey Leo, the project channels a sophisticated visual language that leans into editorial minimalism, utilizing a vibrant, saturated palette to elevate the subject matter. Model Stefano Tomadini anchors the series, bringing a raw, tactile intensity to both portraiture and abstract compositions. The execution relies heavily on the interplay of high-contrast lighting—ranging from dramatic chiaroscuro and studio strobe setups to the warm, intimate quality of natural light—to define the contours of the body and the intricate textures of metallic accessories. By juxtaposing organic skin tones with industrial materials like vinyl, latex, and polished silver, the imagery achieves a cohesive aesthetic that feels both cinematic and rooted in fine art principles. Techniques such as macro focus and analogue film capture are employed to heighten the sensory experience, turning mundane elements like droplets, pigment, and fruit into focal points of geometric beauty. Ultimately, Shifting Colours stands as a testament to clean, graphic storytelling, where every composition is stripped of artifice to foreground the precise, intentional balance of color, light, and geometry within the modern editorial landscape.
