Lost in Lagos

Client: Girlz Love B’s
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Frames: 10

A street-cast capsule story commissioned by Girlz Love B’s. Photographed through okada stands, nail-polish stalls and market lanes before breaking out at the beach — the city standing in for the studio.

The commission

Girlz Love B’s commissioned a capsule story that could live inside the streets that shaped it. The cast moves through okada stands, beauty stalls and market lanes before the final change of pace at the beach.

The photographic approach

The locations remain active parts of every frame instead of becoming anonymous backgrounds. Environmental portraits, small street details and moments of movement connect the clothes to a specific Lagos atmosphere.
