Davide Ambroggio: ‘'Late Night’

8 Jan

Late Night is a fashion photography project that examines desire, performance and power through carefully staged interior scenes. The imagery moves between closeness and distance, using theatrical colour, reflective surfaces and deliberate posing to create a sense of suspended time, as though each moment exists just after an unseen event.

Photographer Davide Ambroggio constructs each frame with a strong awareness of spatial relationships. Saturated blues and greens interact with warm highlights, creating visual friction across skin, fabric and set elements. The lighting sculpts form rather than merely illuminating it, allowing faces and bodies to emerge selectively from shadow. This approach gives the series a heightened, almost operatic mood without tipping into excess.

Styling by Greta Roncarelli anchors the narrative through a considered mix of texture and silhouette. Fur, lace and tailoring are used to suggest status, vulnerability and performance, while maintaining editorial coherence across the series. The wardrobe choices feel intentional and responsive to the environment rather than imposed upon it.

Makeup by Eleonora Volpi enhances facial structure and expression with clarity and confidence, while hair styling by Angela Petruzzi reinforces period influence through shape and finish. Models Carlo Piazza and Andrea Leigh bring a controlled physicality to the work, allowing posture and gaze to carry emotional weight. The project reads as confident, immersive and visually assured.
