THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET

For the second edition of Visualaire Magazine, I had the opportunity to work on a shoot for the theme "Through the Eyes of a Poet," which allowed me to explore the romantic and idealistic view of the world that poets often embody. I wanted to capture the dreamy, vintage feel of a hopeless romantic—a perspective that sees the world through rose-colored glasses and views love in every corner.

Drawing inspiration from the moodboard provided for the chapter, I developed my own vision for the shoot, focusing on soft, vintage aesthetics and a romantic atmosphere. The location I chose featured old, classical architectural elements, creating a timeless backdrop that complemented the dreamy theme.

The styling was intentionally gendered and classic: the female model wore soft pink, rosy tones to embody femininity and romance, while the male model’s vintage-inspired look, featuring a linen shirt and classic trousers, evoked timeless elegance. My aim was to make the photos feel soft, nostalgic, and poetic, with an editing style that enhanced the vintage, romantic vibe.
