Seun Shote photo shoot

In one of the coolest concepts we have seen, London photographer Seun Shote held a live fashion shoot in Auckland’s Ironbank building using NZ labels to demonstrate how fashion imagery is produced…

Tahnee Leonard of Ciel PR styled the shoot using New Zealand fashion brands from Ciel PR showroom, on models Monique and Cait.

Seun Shote has arrived here from London where she is a freelance photographer working in the fields of fashion and beauty. Seun graduated with a BA in photography from Portsmouth University then lived in London learning the trade via assisting on fashion and international advertising shoots.

Now here in Auckland, Seun is enjoying collaborating with New Zealand creatives on concepts such as this event, held at the Bizdojo space in Ironbank on K’Road to sounds by Cookie Campbell, over cocktails from Vaione Gin.

"My inspiration for the live fashion shoot was to give people an insight into how fashion imagery is produced" says Seun. "I wanted to show how a team of talented individuals can create something simple yet stunning."

And she definitely has. Check out these beautiful images, with make-up by Verity Griffiths, and hair by Mikayla Mills at Stephen Marr.
