Styled by Giulia Parenti and photographed by Alberto Simoni, King of the Neighborhood showcases the authentic form of the subject, who is a man expressing himself openly, against a deeply fabricated backdrop. This contrast between the two highlights the duality of modern identity. Acting as a sort of advertisement for yourself and your life, how important is it to maintain a realistic image of who you are when curating your online persona? This project conceptualizes this progressive dilemma through a set of nine photos. Each photo is styled uniquely featuring avant-garde accessories paired with minimalistic clothing. The homes in the background represent the dream of every middle-class family; a spacious home located in a quiet, meek suburb.
