Minimalist Warrior Photography

The Camil by Rene Fietzeck Image Series Showcases Subtle Opulence

Photographer Rene Fietzeck captures Camil at Panda Models in a stunning set of portraits for F****** Young! Online. The site's latest editorial exclusive is a fresh and modern take on an armored warrior aesthetic. While the photoshoot highlights stylist Bodo Ernle's minimalist menswear vision, its subtle metal accessories bring its historic visual theme to life.

Dressed in designer pieces from labels that include Martin Niklas Wieser, Dries van Noten and Kris van Assche, Camil channels a modern day knight. The youthful model poses in a wardrobe of sleek and simplistic silhouettes that are paired alongside moulded crown headpieces, hanging face embellishments and even metallic vest garments that are a nod to photographer Rene Fietzeck's Elizabethan inspiration.
