A MAN IN HIS MID-TWENTIES

This photoshoot is an intimate, personal portrait of a man in his mid-twenties working as a stylist in Warsaw. The focus remains strictly on his individuality, commanding personality, a quiet melancholy in his eyes, and a palpable sense of inner drama.

Originally from Ukraine, where he had an established life, he moved to Poland to pursue his dreams from scratch. His journey is defined by a relentless work ethic, having to work twice as hard to carve out a space for himself in the fashion industry. That resilience, and the subtle emotional weight it carries, forms the core of this story.

A central motif of the project is the presence of flowers, a tribute to his teenage ambition of becoming a florist. By photographing him in his own environment, surrounded by the spaces and objects that shape his daily life, the approach becomes intentionally voyeuristic. We prioritized vulnerability, authenticity, and emotional depth over traditional perfection. The wardrobe features a curated selection of pieces from Prada, YSL, Dries van Noten, Gucci, D&G, and Amiri as well as his own archive.
