Afterhours / Paparazzi Chic
Concept
The core idea of the shoot is to capture the atmosphere of a private, exclusive party for two. They are the elite—slightly detached, yet sharing an intense magnetic chemistry. The frames look like spontaneous camera flashes catching intimate moments, captured by fashion paparazzi.
The entire story—from sipping cocktails in boredom to a passionate escape—unfolds inside a single venue. We are booking a table at Largo Launch and diner BAR for 1-1.5 hours in the morning.
