Pascal SCHONLAU c/o EMEIS DEUBEL photographed the rapper Destroy Lonely in London for NEW WAVE magazine. He also designed the elaborate 3D effects for the celebrity editorial.
"For this shoot, I tapped into Destroy Lonely’s full aesthetic—taking cues from his sound, persona, and the gravitational pull he’s had since “NOSTYLIST” turned into a cultural moment.
Every set-up was built digitally with stylized scenography and cinematic elements, framing him as both a rising star and an untouchable figure in the spotlight.
The gritty textures and earthy tones weren't just for mood—they were designed to channel his elusive, almost mystical energy, pushing the images past beauty into something more immersive, more otherworldly." Pascal Schonlau, photographer.
