COMMON LANGUAGE x CHANTELLE | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja transforms Chantelle X lingerie into subjects of visual experimentation in his "Test Bench" series for Common Language Magazine. The concept: an imaginary laboratory where pieces undergo analysis - airbrush gun, digital microscope, surveillance cameras, measuring cables. Metallic sets, graphic laces and structured bodysuits become specimens under observation. Calleja builds a universe between technical workshop and art gallery - lingerie suspended in hermetic bags, lit from below, examined from every angle. An approach that celebrates textile innovation and the engineering behind each Chantelle X creation.

EL PAIS SEMANAL | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja explores the intimacy of the modern locker room in his "Lockers" series for El País Magazine. Lockers become contemporary still lifes where the essentials of a life in motion accumulate. Each composition tells a personal story. Between luxury and sport, vintage and current trends, objects reveal the multiple facets of their owners. Calleja transforms these temporary storage spaces into faceless portraits - python and leather, pastels and neons, minimalism and maximalism cohabit in these urban microcosms.

FURLA | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja captures the playful spirit of Furla's "Come Play With Us" campaign. The signature clasp pouches form a kaleidoscope of colors - from emerald green to burgundy via metallic pink - like an invitation to chromatic play. The photographer transforms each bag into a visual playground. Hands with multicolored nails, liquid leathers on monochrome backgrounds, textures that dialogue with light. The approach is joyful and sophisticated, celebrating the Italian accessory as an object of daily pleasure. (Production by Craetive Paris)

H/SABLE LABS | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja reimagines skincare codes for H/Sable Labs. Between casual daily life and sophisticated staging, the series transforms skincare products into contemporary objects of desire.

MASSIMO DUTTI | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja transforms Massimo Dutti fragrances into elements of daily life for "Les Matières" collection. The bottles rest on colored soap blocks or integrate into compositions evoking the world of self-care and bathroom rituals. Between glass shelves and grooming objects, the series celebrates perfume as an integral part of our intimate routines. An approach that demystifies luxury to anchor it in the tactile and sensory reality of self-care.

MONDAY MUSE | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja transforms Monday Muse's "The Cocktail" cream into visual mixology. The tubes become protagonists in compositions where skincare meets cocktail artistry - resting on frosted margarita glasses, plunged into sparkling water, dripping with golden honey. The series plays with textures and states of matter, evoking both the sensory pleasure of skincare and cocktail tasting. An approach that reinvents beauty codes by drawing from the festive and indulgent world of cocktail culture. (Art direction, Set design by Oscar Calleja)

STORIA JEWELRY | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja recontextualizes luxury jewelry through the lens of the everyday for Storia. Precious metals meet crushed aluminum, gold chains embrace melting ice cream, and diamonds rest in egg cartons - creating a tension between value and banality. The series dismantles the traditional jewelry narrative of aspiration and exclusivity. By placing fine pieces within mundane contexts, Calleja questions our automatic associations between precious objects and precious moments. A vintage radio becomes as worthy a display as a velvet box, suggesting that luxury exists not in the object but in the story we assign to it.

SUMMER FRIDAYS | OSCAR CALLEJA
Oscar Calleja transforms Summer Fridays into a playground of textures and unexpected pairings. Beauty products mingle with tropical fruits, beach essentials, and everyday objects - creating a visual vocabulary where skincare feels less like discipline and more like vacation. The campaign captures the brand's DNA: that Friday feeling bottled. Through playful compositions and sun-soaked palettes, Calleja suggests beauty routines can be as spontaneous as a beach day, as satisfying as biting into fresh fruit. Products become props in summer stories rather than steps in regimens.
