Rolling Stone Italia

Jun 2025

Rolling Stone Italia features musician J Balvin in a series of intimate, editorial portraits. Captured by photographer Gianluca Fontana, the series utilizes moody, low-key lighting and minimalist studio backdrops in varying shades of burgundy, plum, and magenta to frame the artist's features and intricate tattoos. The imagery employs tactile, soft-light techniques to emphasize textures, from gemstone grillz and metal accessories to the varied patterns of his ink. The compositions lean into vertical framing and negative space to maintain a focused, contemplative aesthetic.
