SHADOWPLAY Magazine: under your skin

Sep 2025

For SHADOWPLAY Magazine's 'under your skin' editorial, photographer Ferry van der Nat captures a raw and tactile exploration of modern masculinity. The series leans into a stark editorial aesthetic, defined by heavy leather, voluminous faux furs, and eclectic layering. Fashion stylist Simon Dae Dissing Bacher curates a range of statement pieces—from oversized crocodile-embossed jackets to leopard-print textiles—that emphasize texture and form against minimal, high-key studio backdrops. Working with a team including hair stylist Bastien Zorzetto and casting director Michiel van Maaren, the project moves between clean, soft-lit portraits and moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting. Models including Aurélien Vol, Daniil Kercz, Gleb Sazon, Marnix Eyckmans, Milan Bodemer, Nickita Poleacov, and Yacine Ferroudj are captured in both controlled studio environments and natural light settings. The editorial relies on a blend of monochrome tones, sharp flash, and tactile surface contrasts to anchor its minimalist, narrative-driven approach to fashion photography.
