SSENSE
In this project for SSENSE, Mathieu Fortin knew how to illustrate the young and stunning fashion eShop’s deepest purpose: moving forward is achievable only by challenging conventions. It’s with this state of mind that Mathieu presents a chiaroscuro reinterpretation in which elaborate and atypical characters are immerse in a similar lighting. The essence of photography is taken here very seriously; Mathieu truly practiced the art of drawing with light.
These portraits communicate a range of subtil emotions. From vulnerability to assurance of a contemporary youth with multiple fluid identities.
