About

Youngsters is an expansive editorial scouting project based in Milan, documenting a series of portraits and fashion-focused imagery. Photographed by Vitalik Melnikov with casting directed by Carlo Savoldi, the series leans into an intimate, documentary aesthetic that highlights local youth culture through a mix of domestic and urban environments. The work centers on model Ruben Aiello, presenting a study in minimalist menswear and contemporary styling across diverse interior and exterior settings. Utilizing analogue film and consistent natural light, the project emphasizes textural details—from the mosaic-tiled walls of residential corridors to the raw surfaces of industrial gallery spaces—resulting in a clean and artistic collection of imagery.
