U Repubblica #9 2025 covers feature a series of portrait compositions for the media publication, anchored by a monochrome aesthetic. The project, edited by Emanuele Farneti, explores editorial portraiture through high-contrast imagery and a clean, direct visual approach.
Photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez leads the visual execution, supported by art direction from Ben Kelway. The creative team includes fashion editor and stylist Tony Irvine, with hair styling by Louis Ghewy and makeup by Masae Ito. The production utilises analogue film techniques to frame its subjects.
