Emmanuel Castañeda: Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa is a narrative fashion editorial that examines connection, distance, and emotional endurance through considered styling, atmospheric photography, and composed performance. The project balances theatrical elements with visual clarity, resulting in imagery that feels both contemporary and quietly timeless.

Photographer Emmanuel Castañeda shapes the series through controlled lighting and precise framing, using shadow and negative space to create a calm yet emotionally charged atmosphere. The tonal palette remains consistent throughout, allowing texture, silhouette, and gesture to communicate meaning without relying on excess embellishment. Each composition feels intentional, giving the subjects space to hold the frame with confidence and stillness.

Styling by Emmanuel García and Ivy Chaotic reflects a strong understanding of form and narrative cohesion. Layered garments and accessories reinforce themes of tension and intimacy, with each look contributing to the editorial’s visual continuity. The styling is expressive without becoming overworked, supporting the emotional core of the project.

Hair styling by Robbie Martinez is minimal and character-led, while makeup by Diego Solis is precise and restrained, enhancing structure and mood without dominating the image. Models Sofia Kaless and Monica Valencia deliver measured, introspective performances that anchor the narrative. Production support from assistant Sofia Rivera ensures the project runs smoothly, resulting in a focused and visually assured fashion editorial.
