Harmony in Motion

This editorial explores harmony through the language of music and sound. Inspired by vintage audio culture, the concept translates rhythm into a visual narrative of textures, atmosphere, and movement.

Creative direction and production

I developed the artistic direction of the editorial, shaping the visual storytelling around the theme of sound and musical harmony. From concept to shoot coordination, I ensured a cohesive narrative across locations, styling, and visual composition.

The editorial was shot across two Parisian locations chosen to reinforce the musical narrative:

The Idol Hotel, a vintage-inspired venue rich in textures and retro atmosphere, used for the female editorial.
A vintage music shop specializing in vinyl records and antique instruments, used for the male editorial.
