Test Shoot: True Whitaker

Nov 2025

True Whitaker is a fashion-focused editorial test shoot series exploring textural depth and domestic candor. Photographers Alex Brunet and Olga Varova capture a series of portraits that oscillate between stylized studio setups and intimate, observational interior vignettes. The work centers on a versatile range of fashion apparel, spanning sleek leather tailoring and high-contrast knitwear to more eclectic pairings like animal-print hosiery and faux-fur outerwear. The series leans into a distinct interplay of light, moving from the crisp, high-key illumination of flash photography to the soft, diffused natural light characteristic of analogue instant film. By layering these varied aesthetic approaches—from macro texture studies to candid, low-angle lifestyle compositions—the project documents a modern visual narrative defined by clean lines and tactile focus.
