Monochrome blooms

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography and Creative Direction by M. Milo. The model is Natthapol. Floral Design by TML Tabea Maria-Lis. Zurich-based photographer and creative director M. Milo creates imagery that sits between softness and control, intimacy and spectacle. His work is rooted in the poetry of people, honest, imperfect, and quietly emotional. With a background in design, Milo approaches photography with a strong sense for detail and composition, while his perspective as a gay artist shapes the way he looks beyond the obvious and into what images can reveal, hold, and, most importantly, remember.

In monochrome blooms, he explores contrast through restriction: each scene is held in a single colour world, where backdrop, florals, and styling stay within tones of red or white. Inside that monochrome frame, tension becomes visible – desire and distance, vulnerability and elegance, intensity and calm. The body turns sculptural, gestures become precise, and the florals feel both tender and uncanny, like softness staged with intention. Each image moves like a still life in motion, where image-making becomes emotion and beauty refuses to be simple.
