the brief

THE SH-E-O is a photo story that follows a businesswoman through New York City from morning to night, with sharp tailoring, city texture and candid movement telling a story of ambition in motion.

It is a fully self-produced editorial. I conceived it and held every role on set and after it: creative and art direction, casting, styling, hair and makeup, photography and post-production. One point of view, carried from concept to final frame.
