Barbican Fashion Photoshoot

Only two weeks after moving to Manchester, Uk and here I was getting out of my comfort zone once again. After doing a Dog & Owner photoshoot last time, this time around I was commissioned to do a fashion shoot, by Aida, a very talented young fashion designer, who wanted to showcase her fashion collection on her new Website.

The brief was pretty straight forward, with the main requirement being that the whole shoot had to have a brutalist feel and look to it. So for the location we chose the Barbican Centre in London. I had seen some photographs taken there and thought they looked good, but having never been there myself before, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. I was shocked by how amazing it actually is in real life and how incredibly well it worked with Aida’s collection.
Leaving aside the impressive architecture, the light in some areas was absolutely stunning!

This was my first fashion photoshoot ever and I can easily say that is also one of my favourite photoshoots I’ve ever done to date! I should also thank Joy, the model, who luckily for me knew what she was doing, so only needed minimal direction, thus making my job so much easier. With her taking care of posing, all I had to do was find the best lighting, compose and snap away.
