Dark Romance: Sonnah Allie
A contemporary fashion photography project by Sonnah Allie that examines intimacy and power through cinematic composition, refined styling and controlled visual storytelling.
Dark Romance is a visually assured photography project that explores intimacy, power and ornamentation through a carefully constructed domestic setting. Photographed and creatively directed by Sonnah Allie, the series demonstrates a confident command of lighting and spatial composition. The use of saturated colour and low, directional light creates a cinematic atmosphere that feels deliberate and controlled, drawing attention to texture, gesture and material detail without overwhelming the subject.
Creative direction and set design by Sonnah Allie, in collaboration with Theodora Delarny, underpin the project’s visual coherence. The environment is styled with precision, allowing the setting to function as an extension of the narrative rather than a backdrop. Each element is placed with intent, contributing to a sense of tension between softness and control.
Wardrobe styling by Ashleigh Stunna is central to the project’s impact. The selection of statement pieces and layered accessories enhances the sculptural quality of the compositions, while maintaining clarity and balance across the series. Nail artistry by Nail Art Fein adds a refined finishing detail, reinforcing the project’s attention to craftsmanship and cohesion.
The models, including Whitney Navaeh, Juliet Wheeler and Megha Kurs, deliver composed and assured performances. Their controlled physicality and direct engagement with the camera anchor the imagery, allowing the conceptual framework to remain focused and restrained.
