For this shoot, I was tasked with researching and developing a theme using current and archival magazines. I created this mood board to explore the delicate balance of femininity and masculinity in the workforce. Recognizing the challenge women face in expressing themselves through style while maintaining professionalism, I aimed to delve into this dynamic. In this collage I set the overall mood for the photoshoot by selecting photos that aligned with my vision. These included examples of suiting and tailoring, touches of sequins, relevant keywords, and poses.
