CREATIVE BRIEF

The Stellium shoot was unlike any I’ve directed before. This wasn't a standard brand shoot or a set of launch assets — it was a visual culmination of 41 years of life, motherhood, miracles, and magic made manifest.

The vision: a modern speakeasy. Glamour. Red velvet. Smoky rooms. Tarot cards. Sparkly stockings. A visceral aesthetic that declares: this is the house of matriarchal power.

No singular person was the subject of the shoot -- rather, the collective, the powerhouse women, and us breaking mainstream narratives around sensuality, power, spirituality and what it means to lead cultural change. We're proving that trailblazing and change-making can look glamorous, sexy, and oh so fabulous! This shoot truly embodies The Studio's heart: Truth over Trends.
