Here is a selection of images I shot for the American Black Women’s magazine Essence, for their september issue. The brief was to shoot street style fashion shots of stylish black women living in London, as part of a global street style feature.

Janet has recently finished her masters in law, and had just got her hair cut, when I caught sight of her on Oxford street. I immediately loved her playful ensemble, of jumper dress from Paris, Italian shoes from the Woolworth road, and the jacket from MK One.
