In the dynamic realm of fashion photography, the discovery of Matteo by his agency, Select, introduced a refreshing muse with a captivating presence and vibrant, short-colored hair. Our photo shoot, nestled within my Paris studio at the end of 2023, aimed to capture Matteo’s natural expressiveness and infectious smile through a narrative that was both liberating and bold.

April 2024 marks a significant milestone for Matteo as he graces the digital cover of NEW FACES, a testament to his emerging influence in the modeling world. This feature highlights his journey and signifies the industry’s recognition of his unique charm and potential.
Choosing to spotlight vintage aesthetics, we adorned Matteo in eclectic pieces from Episode and By Flowers, alongside his wardrobe, blending past and present in our visual storytelling. The shoot’s essence was immortalized using a Nikon D800e for its sharp detail and a Polaroid Fuji for its nostalgic touch, perfectly complementing Matteo’s versatile and spirited portrayal.
This project wasn’t merely about photography but about creating a moment that resonates with freedom and timelessness, with Matteo perfectly embodying this through his dynamic expression and style. His feature on the digital cover of NEW FACES in April 2024 is a fitting accolade, celebrating his fresh perspective and audacious spirit in the world of fashion.
