About

Open Skies serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, stripping back the noise of traditional fashion photography to focus on the interplay between sculptural form and vast, open landscapes. Captured through the lens of photographer Amer Mohamad, the series leans into a high-contrast aesthetic that utilizes natural light to elevate luxury fashion house garments into architectural subjects. By contrasting bold color blocking—such as vibrant red coats and metallic silver textures—against the stark, piercing blue of cloudless skies or the monochromatic neutrality of rolling white sand dunes, the project creates a sense of serene, cinematic isolation. Stylist Sergi Padial anchors the narrative through a careful curation of textures, from heavy lace veils to fringe detailing and ornate statement jewelry, ensuring every detail stands out against the clean, minimalist backdrop. The editorial portraits effectively bridge the gap between high-fashion storytelling and intimate beauty study, frequently utilizing macro perspectives to capture the interplay of light on skin and silver glitter. By eschewing studio artifice in favor of natural light and expansive environments, Open Skies achieves a timeless quality that feels both grounded and aspirational. This body of work reinforces the power of deliberate composition, proving that when the focus is placed squarely on silhouette and texture, the resulting imagery transcends the page to become a striking exploration of contemporary style and form.
