Photographer José Manuel Vilela @seguraandvilela presents Subtle Youth, an amazing fashion editorial exclusively created for Vanity Teen online with the model Joaquin Gonzales @joaquingonzr represented by We Love Models Perú @welovemodels.pe.
The editorial was inspired by the style of the 90s, the summer movies of that time, the boy bands, and especially the sea. The story tells us about a young man who walks along the coast, exploring new places, making us understand that life is one and that youth is ephemeral, a golden age in our lives.
“The idea I had in mind was to show a young lover of the sea ready to start his day to day in the summer season where we are mostly on vacation, the visual references have been movies from the 90s, musical artists, actors, and advertisements of that moment.”
Fabrizio Ricciardi
The equipment used was a camera Canon 5D Mark III and the shooting took place outdoors in Punta Hermosa Beach, Lima, Perú.
