Portrait: Diana Loves Weights
Nov 2025
Diana Loves Weights is an editorial photography series that leans into a vibrant, high-energy 1980s fitness aesthetic. Captured by photographer Anthony Arquier with hair styling by Sadek Lardjane, the project explores the intersection of bodybuilding culture and retro glamour. The series features muscular subjects captured through a mix of candid backstage vignettes and posed studio portraiture. The imagery utilizes techniques like hard direct flash to highlight the metallic sheen of leotards and athletic physique, often incorporating playful, unexpected props like power blowers, ironing boards, and dressmaker mannequins. With its heavy emphasis on voluminous teased hair and bright, graphic makeup, the project delivers a stylized, performance-focused narrative that channels an authentic vintage appeal.
