Stage of Shadows is a fashion editorial series for Vogue Portugal, captured by photographer Vadym Yatsun. Starring model Xia Yuancen, the project explores the interplay between form, shadow, and architectural staging through a series of conceptual studio portraits.
The imagery utilizes dramatic, low-key lighting and chiaroscuro techniques to highlight the textures of high-fashion silhouettes. Across the series, the composition leans into a theatrical aesthetic, featuring surreal set elements like suspended furniture arranged against vibrant, monochromatic backgrounds. The aesthetic is defined by warm, earthy color palettes and a focus on polished detail.
