Holyweek by Ramses Alvarez

The portrait photographer Ramses Alvarez @ramses_alvarez_, who is specialized in fashion and male portraiture with more than 9 years of experience and with several editorials published around the world, presents this amazing fashion editorial exclusively created for Vanity Teen online featuring the handsome model Emilio Baltazar @emilio_baltazar represented by Wanted Bang @wanted_bang.

For many Latinos, Easter is a synonym of vacations, of going to the beach of fun and conviviality. However, this time the photographer wanted to reflect the real feeling of many people on this occasion since the pandemic would not allow them to have such a large number of people around. We are all experiencing this awful global health crisis in which we have to be protected. For this reason, the team made the decision of shooting at a desert beach named Laguna de Cuyutlan, in Colima, that allowed them to reflect that feeling of loneliness. Loneliness in Easter.

Shot using a Canon t4i with a 18-55 mm lens and natural light, the photographer wanted to reflect the loneliness and tranquility that the beach gives but emphasizing more the melancholy and the pandemic situation with unusual beach clothes with tropical touches but more covered than usual without the traditional beach clothes. To transmit those feelings, he always tries to use lethargy of color with contrast, which reflects the warm tones inspired by earth tones in which loneliness and melancholy are reflected, using natural lights that generate a lot of contrast, but most importantly to represent the aesthetics of loneliness.

Carlos Pineda @carlospinedamx took care of the styling and the makeup was the work of Cesar De La Cruz. They both did an amazing job showcasing the editorial’s aesthetics. It was produced by Krakion Agency @krakionagency, the video was directed by Tony Cervon @tonycervon and the dron pilot was J. Razo @jrazo16.
