Sleek Magazine – Ottolinger

For SLEEK Magazine’s 73rd issue, we developed a photographic concept centred around a stylized visit to Ottolinger’s headquarters, combining the intimacy of a documentary approach with a more refined, carefully composed editorial aesthetic. Shot on analog medium-format film, the series captures the designers within their own creative environment, preserving an authentic, almost reportage-like quality. Working with the existing natural daylight and studio lighting, we deliberately enhanced the contrast through carefully placed black fill and white bounce, creating a more sculptural interplay of light and shadow. The result balances the spontaneity of an observational studio visit with a subtle sense of staging, elevating everyday moments into distinctive fashion portraits.
