U Repubblica features actor Jeff Goldblum in this editorial photography series, captured by photographer Michael Bailey Gates. The project relies on a clean, monochrome aesthetic to present a series of portraits that oscillate between candid interaction and staged narrative style. Creative director Ben Kelway shapes the visual approach, which incorporates vintage cameras as central compositional elements to create a distinct, analogue film-informed atmosphere.
The series highlights the interplay of texture and high-contrast lighting, utilizing natural light and minimal backdrops to focus on the subject. Fashion direction by Giovanni Dario Laudicina and styling by Andrew Vottero provide a sharp, layered wardrobe, while grooming by David Cox maintains a crisp, deliberate finish across the imagery.
