The Ask
As a contributing team member for INK, Virginia Commonwealth University’s arts and culture magazine, contribute to The Black Essence photoshoot as a production assistant.
The Process
“Inspired by vintage black photography, The Black Essence embodies fierceness, warmth, blackness, creating a soulful and eclectic vibe. The Black Essence photoshoot highlighted two black owned businesses, The Liznel and Rumors, incorporating fall elements like contrast, monochromatic colors, and layering.”
— Creative Director, Kayla Lundy
Alongside a strong team of creatives from INK magazine, I worked as a production assistant on this gorgeous project. My main responsibility was to manage the details— to ensure every backdrop was properly prepared, every garment steamed, every model dressed, and all equipment ready.
The Product
The photoshoot was published on December 12, 2022 on INK magazine’s online publication.
