Photography

The photoshoot was carried out over two days.

On the first day, I invited my friends to shoot in Brick Lane. As the area has a strong street culture atmosphere, I wanted to create a feeling that is free, spontaneous and full of attitude. I did not give strict directions on styling or poses. Instead, I encouraged them to express themselves naturally through movement, interaction and candid moments, capturing an authentic sense of youth and street identity.

On the second day, the shoot took place in Allen Gardens with the same group of people, but with a contrasting mood. As the second part of the magazine focuses on quietness and secrecy, I chose to shoot during the evening and night. Compared to the openness and energy of the first day, this shoot is more subtle and emotional, focusing on facial expressions, atmosphere and the relationship between people and their surroundings. It aims to reveal more private and unspoken aspects of identity.

By structuring the shoot across two days, I aim to create a contrast within the magazine — from external freedom and expression to internal quietness and hidden emotions, fully reflecting the concept of Off The Record.
