About

Venice, an editorial fashion series for Numero Netherlands, captures a contemplative aesthetic through a combination of location-based imagery and minimalist portraiture. Photographed by Dina Gaikova, the project features model Barbara Shilova set against the misty, historic backdrop of the Venetian waterfront and controlled, moody interior spaces. Utilizing a desaturated and monochromatic palette, the work leans into an analogue film aesthetic that prioritizes texture and classic composition. Across both outdoor canal settings and tactile studio portraits, the imagery emphasizes structural silhouettes and soft natural light, resulting in a cohesive, atmospheric exploration of form and environment.
