This shoot was so relaxed. Mainly after we spent 2 hours arguing with security guards to shoot in public space. The whole shoot was pretty free flowing so besides the makeup, nothing else had a mood board. NGL it felts slightly awkward shooting this way (I usually have a board for every aspect) , but we really had fun.

Model : Kuba

MUA: Judah & October

Kelvin was also on set shooting film!

Portraits of Johnson by me ~~ I really like how these came out. Wardrobe for this shoot wasn't as expected, so we improvised . I think it was also his first shoot since lockdown so there was alot of anxiety, but we got through that pretty quick. While editing I was tempted to "fix" the shoulders and make everything perfect and symmetrical. But that will make the images a tad bit unnatural IMO. The face he's making here are true reflections of his mood at this particular point in time. I think we had been shooting for about an hour and he was over it lol. But i like it.

I don't know when it begun, but I've realized I'm fascinated with "naturally" occurring symmetry . Where "Natural" means I didn't intentionally create it. It permeates every aspect of my photography, and tbh it's feels nice. Everything just looks better with symmetry.
