About

Blueroom 2 is a photography series for SHADOWPLAY Magazine, featuring an extensive editorial portrait study captured by photographer David Macke. The work alternates between stark, minimalist studio portraits set against a vivid cobalt blue backdrop and intimate, natural-light interior shots. Through a combination of monochrome grading and clean color compositions, the project examines character and texture. The series features models Elan Lee, Erik Lemus-Calderon, Jonathan Gonzalez, and Oliver Thrall, utilizing elements of analogue film and soft natural lighting to create a cohesive editorial aesthetic.
