About

Requiem Symphony is a theatrical fashion editorial for the July issue of PAP Magazine. Photographed by Willy Villacorta, the series explores avant-garde styling through a gothic lens, utilizing surreal compositions and maximalist set design. The project leans into moody and raw aesthetics, frequently employing direct flash to highlight tactile fabric textures and intricate lace, leather, and mesh detailing. The visual narrative is defined by a consistent use of dramatic lighting, ranging from high-contrast chiaroscuro to stark strobe, framing subjects against rich crimson drapery or monochromatic studio backdrops.
