Wardrobe Stylist/Creative Director/Photographer/Retoucher: Dayana Montesano

Female Model/Makeup Artist: Nina Orlandi

This photography project presents a cohesive and conceptually assured body of work that balances sculptural styling with an intimate, painterly visual language. The series demonstrates a clear curatorial vision, in which material, form and gesture are used to evoke themes of vulnerability, ritual and transformation without resorting to excess.

As Wardrobe Stylist, Creative Director, Photographer and Retoucher, Dayana Montesano shows a high level of technical and artistic control across multiple disciplines. The wardrobe construction is inventive and tactile, using reflective and translucent materials to sculpt the body while responding sensitively to light. The creative direction is disciplined and precise, ensuring that each frame contributes to a unified narrative. As photographer, Montesano employs controlled lighting and thoughtful composition to create depth and atmosphere, while the retouching remains restrained and respectful, enhancing texture and tone without diminishing authenticity.

Nina Orlandi’s contribution as Female Model and Makeup Artist is equally significant. Her performance is measured and expressive, conveying stillness, tension and introspection through subtle posture and gaze. The makeup design complements the conceptual framework, with a refined use of colour and structure that reinforces the sculptural quality of the imagery while maintaining a human presence.

Together, Montesano and Orlandi deliver a refined and intellectually coherent project that demonstrates strong collaboration, technical skill and artistic maturity.
