[ THE.BRIEF ]

451’s management commissioned portraits around his recording sessions at Warner Records. He already had an audience on SoundCloud.

[ ART.DIRECTION ]

Drive, vulnerability and a little mystery.

I chose monochrome and heavy grain to convey those qualities. At the provided location, I handled styling, lighting, posing, photography and the final image treatment.
