Special Projects _J.L.A.L_ / STRATA 2025

About

Special Projects presents _J.L.A.L_ / STRATA, an observational editorial project that explores human presence within rugged landscapes through a documentary lens. The series shifts between technical, thermal-imaging captures and atmospheric, wide-frame portraits to establish a moody and gritty aesthetic. Photographer Benjamin Werner documents figures navigating barren, dark earth terrain, often utilizing natural light and low-key, chiaroscuro lighting to emphasize texture. Fashion styling by Hamish Wirgman provides a conceptual foundation for the imagery, incorporating draped fabrics and layered garments that contrast with the desaturated, raw environments depicted across the collection.
