The Metalhead Magazine

Jun 2026

Residual Light is a fashion editorial feature produced for The Metalhead Magazine. The project centers on a series of portraits featuring model Akuel Malong, exploring form and silhouette through a series of structured and draped garments. Photographed by Leonardo Bornati, the collection channels a moody aesthetic throughout. The execution leans into editorial techniques including monochrome palettes and high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting, which serve to emphasize the tactile quality of the fabrics and the geometric framing of the compositions.
