U Repubblica

Mar 2025

For U Repubblica, photographer Jack Davison captures athlete Sandro Tonali in a series of editorial portraits. Under the creative direction of Ben Kelway, the feature centers on high-contrast, low-key lighting that leans into the interplay of shadow and form. Defined by a gritty aesthetic, the imagery utilizes analogue film techniques to amplify texture and grain. These portraits, styled by Rebecca Perlmutar with fashion direction by Giovanni Dario Laudicina and editorial oversight from Emanuele Farneti, focus on contemplative, intimate framing against dark, minimalist backgrounds.
