I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES Photographed and styled by John Zalazar

There is a strange softness in I Do Believe in Fairies.

A face held between both hands.A body wrapped, hidden, revealed.Denim becoming costume, shield and gesture.A boyish presence suspended somewhere between fashion, play and confession.

Photographed and styled by John Zalazar, the editorial moves through a visual language that feels intimate, awkward, tender and quietly surreal. Joaquin does not appear as a classic masculine figure. He appears as something more fragile and more interesting: a body trying shapes, a face testing silence, a character caught between innocence and self-awareness.

The styling becomes part of the emotion. Denim is not only clothing here — it becomes structure, protection, performance. The oversized pieces distort the body, cover the shoulders, frame the face and create a tension between exposure and disguise.

In black and white, the images feel raw and almost diaristic. The repeated frames, the close crops and the stark borders give the series the feeling of a private visual note, something found in a notebook or pinned to a bedroom wall.

For VOYEUR, I Do Believe in Fairies is a tender study of softness, identity and beautiful disobedience. A quiet refusal of rigid masculinity. A small spell cast in denim, skin and gaze.
