Photographed by Jude Black with creative direction by Francesca Monte and Ermes De Cristofaro, this masterclass offers a stunning avant-garde fashion visual narrative that harmonizes with the unique ethos of the band it portrays. Rooted in the blending of ancient Mediterranean heritage with modern electronic soundscapes, the imagery becomes an extension of the band's identity—an invitation to travel across time and culture.

Set within an opulent, baroque-inspired interior, the composition evokes a sense of timelessness. The warm, earthy tones of the garments, styled with flowing silhouettes and intricate draping, reflect the ancient Mediterranean aesthetic while hinting at contemporary sophistication. Each member of Nysiādes appears like a mythical muse, embodying strength, artistry, and cultural depth. The deliberate use of instruments—such as the mandolin and flute—reinforces their connection to
traditional roots, contrasting seamlessly with the modern electronic undertones of their music.

Jude Black's mastery of lighting and framing creates a captivating interplay of shadows and highlights, infusing the series with a theatrical and almost otherworldly quality. The creative direction by Francesca and Ermes ensures a seamless balance between the band's artistic essence and their visual representation. The luxurious wooden paneling, gilded mirrors, and antique décor envelop the subjects in an environment that feels as much a historical homage as it does a stage for their boundary-pushing artistry.
