California based fashion photographer Nicholas James had the pleasure of shooting at our beautiful space with wonderful natural light and so much vibe – stage Hill 4.

Few words about the the shoot:

“I met Nigeria and she knew Tyra, who had a similar look to hers and we decided to do a ‘twins’ type shoot. We thrifted a majority of the wardrobe and found these wonderful white knit capes for each model and it worked super well with the white-wash aesthetic of the room. Enjoy the shots, and I look forward to spending more time being creative at FD Studios. ”
