Description
Residual Light is a fashion editorial series for The Metalhead Magazine, captured by photographer Leonardo Bornati and featuring model Akuel Malong. The project explores form and silhouette, anchoring its aesthetic in moody, high-contrast imagery that prioritizes sculptural silhouettes and minimalist compositions. Throughout the series, Bornati utilizes chiaroscuro and directional light to define the subject against both stark and textured studio backdrops. The work is defined by its monochromatic palette and low-key lighting, emphasizing the tactile qualities of the wardrobe and the tailored structures of the garments.
