Manual de Mel is a fashion editorial feature for Risbel Magazine, showcasing a series of portraits centered on actor Álvaro Mel. The project leans into a minimalist studio aesthetic, utilising soft lighting to emphasise the intricate textures and patterns of high-end tailoring, including jacquard and denim ensembles.
Photographer Álvaro Gracia captures the subject against solid, vibrant backdrops that highlight the silhouette and detailed finishes of the apparel. Retouching by Viktoriia Gasanova maintains a clean, editorial look throughout the series, creating a sharp, cohesive visual narrative.
