Captured by photographer Manny Roman, this extensive editorial series documents subject Johnny Castro across a range of classic, high-contrast studio and outdoor settings. The work relies on a minimalist approach, leaning into vertical framing and a monochrome aesthetic to emphasize structural form and contemplative portraiture. Technically consistent through the use of analogue film, natural light, and intentional grain, the project transitions from clean, bordered studio portraits to atmospheric, sun-drenched coastal scenes. Throughout the series, the styling remains anchored in a deliberate, tropical-tinged palette, utilizing wide-brimmed hats and textural accents to create a cohesive visual narrative.
