Romanticizing the Everyday | Creative Direction, Styling, & Modeling
During the pandemic, being stuck inside left me feeling restless, yet I still craved creativity. Instead of waiting for inspiration to strike, I found it in the simplest of places—household chores. I wanted to turn the mundane into something beautiful, capturing the romance in daily rituals through a styled photoshoot.
Concept & Execution
This shoot centered around elevating everyday tasks—watering plants, harvesting lemons from our home’s lemon tree, and ironing clothes. I focused on natural, effortless styling to complement the organic feel of the imagery, allowing the environment to shape the mood of each shot.
Creative Direction & Styling
I took on multiple roles—modeling, creative direction, and styling—while my significant other captured the images. For the plant-watering and lemon-harvesting shots, I embraced the warmth of natural light and the rich textures of the greenery around me. The ironing setup featured a clothing rack as part of the frame, reinforcing the idea of finding beauty in routine.
Finding Beauty in Stillness
This project was a reminder that creativity isn’t limited by circumstance. Even in isolation, I could turn the ordinary into something meaningful—proof that inspiration exists in the moments we often overlook.
