A fashion editorial built like a still-life painting. Citrus Reverie stages a languid afternoon in a field at peak bloom, where an overflowing tablescape of stone fruit, citrus, and summer foliage becomes the set, and the fashion lives inside it.

The series takes its cues from classic still-life: rich fabrics, layered linens, vintage glassware, sun-warmed fruit, all arranged for texture and imperfection rather than polish. A wide-brim hat doubles as a fruit basket. A stack of books becomes a crown. The styling leans into a deliberately undone elegance, where the composed and the slightly absurd sit in the same frame.

Shot across three formats, 35mm film, digital, and Super 8, to layer the grain and movement of each against the season's color.
