CULTivate is a faux editorial developed by the SCARBO artist collective. The series explores the construction of image through lighting, scene-setting, and pose, using the visual language of fashion photography as a framework rather than an endpoint.

Working between stylization and observation, the images treat the editorial format as a space for experimentation, where gesture, atmosphere, and composition are emphasized over narrative. The project reflects an interest in how images are built, directed, and perceived within contemporary visual culture.
