Our Photo Was In The Sunday Times Style Magazine!

We were just about to part ways for the festive period when a notification popped up on our Instagram - it was something exciting, the perfect end to a great year!

We had done a shoot midway through 2022 with Eniola, the founder of Nuola Wig's, a luxury wig brand that she had started from her house and now had a thriving business. She wanted a series of strong photos to choose from for an article she was to be featured in about her business journey. The notification we saw was that our photo was in The Sunday Times Style Magazine alongside a write-up about Eniola. We were so excited and proud to see our work featured!

The first part of the shoot was a focus on creating a scene with Eniola at the centre between some of her amazing wigs.

Once we had completed the first set of regal-looking shots, we thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit. We asked Eniola to jump around and play with the wigs, creating something more dynamic and playful. We were absolutely delighted when one of these shots was chosen for the final article - it was a spontaneous decision that really paid off!

Here is the photo in the magazine:

A huge thanks to Eniola for the wonderful shoot and a massive shout-out to Praise Law Makeup for the amazing look:

Fella Ft. Fred Perry SOHO Shoot!

We packed up our gear and headed to Soho for the last hurrah of the 2022 summer heat wave. Fella hair had partnered with Fred Perry for a collab event at their newest Fella shop in Carnaby. Five models (from Meance Modelling Agency) were kitted out in Fred Perry, fresh cuts from Fella Hair, and a big party afterward for us to document.

In the shoot, we wanted to pay homage to the history of Carnaby and the mod subculture that surrounds it and the Fred Perry brand. We did a lot of research beforehand and created some moodboards for inspiration which we shared with Bobby, the manager of Fella, to find the balance between the subculture's iconic look but with a modern twist.

We took a range of shots with the models and mixed things up by using 35 mm film for the party and some "in your face" flash photography to capture the feel of the event.

Rather than just talk about it, we decided to capture the day in a behind-the-scenes video below!

We took loads of epic shots on the day you can find a taster from the shoot below:

After the shoot the party was in full swing and ready for us to capture on beatufiul 35mm film. A big shout out to Whiteclaw drinks who sponsored the party and kept the drinks fridge fully stocked!
