then & now

Week 5 | August 14th & 15th

You are not a fixed image.

What to Expect

Week 5 is about the fact that we’re always evolving. Think about a time you went through something that made you stop and really look at yourself. Maybe it was a breakup, a big move, a moment where life just asked more of you than you expected. And on the other side of it, you came back with a clearer picture - not a perfect one, but a fuller one. You remembered things about yourself you'd forgotten. You found new things you didn't know were there. You let some things go.

And all of that is still in there.

This shoot isn't about presenting your most put-together self. It's actually the opposite. We're going to make space for all of them to be in the room at the same time - and see what that looks like when the camera catches it.

Set Design

  • A crumpled green backdrop: textural, folded, and imperfect, already carrying the evidence of having been through something

  • Faces seen through glass vases filled with water, multiplied and shifted, still recognizably you but not just one of you (we contain multitudes!)

  • The green surrounds you the way growth actually does: not clean, not linear, just present and alive

  • Close-ups through the glass where your face and the green behind you bend and layer together into something completely new
