Various Editorials: "Where We Were Before We Knew Ourselves"

Sep 2025

Where We Were Before We Knew Ourselves is a nuanced fashion editorial series led by photographer Antonino Cafiero and hair stylist Davide Perfetti. The project explores themes of intimacy and nostalgia through a sequence of stylized portraits, balancing structured studio lighting with atmospheric, natural environments. Employing a distinct monochrome palette and occasional warm, cinematic tones, the work utilizes chiaroscuro and soft light to emphasize textile details and facial structure. The imagery captures an array of vintage silhouettes, from tailored suiting and intricate feathered headpieces to textured knitwear, set against classic interior settings and expansive landscapes. The collection is defined by its quiet, contemplative aesthetic, often featuring analogue film grain and deliberate compositions that highlight the interplay between subject and shadow.
