U Repubblica

Apr 2025

U Repubblica features actor Jeff Goldblum in a series of editorial portraits that lean into a clean, analogue film aesthetic. Creative director Ben Kelway shapes the visual narrative, which consistently frames Goldblum alongside vintage stereo photography equipment and diverse, textured tailoring. Photographer Michael Bailey Gates captures the subject across varied settings, ranging from minimal, monochrome studio environments to urban backdrops viewed through distinct apertures. The series relies on high-contrast lighting and desaturated tones to emphasize character detail and the mechanical forms of the vintage camera props.
