About

Quite Hommage is an artistic editorial series for Various Editorials that explores the intersection of portraiture and still-life photography. The collection leans into an earthy, minimalist aesthetic, using the human form as a canvas for botanical and fruit arrangements. Photographed by Alina Gross, the work centers on model Cali White. The imagery employs controlled, directional lighting to accentuate textures, ranging from the organic surfaces of produce like radishes and blackberries to the natural grain of skin. Through tactile, macro compositions and a deliberate low-key, chiaroscuro palette, the series achieves a sculptural quality that bridges the gap between fashion and conceptual food art.
