talk to me nice. 🌴 #storytime: I scouted this beauty Monique for this editorial when I was out with a friend for #FirstThursdays in Cape Town which is a street party filled with live music, art, food and a lot of dancing. I saw her fire red perfectly shaped afro and had to go up to her to see if she was available for the shoot a day or two later (the date escapes my mind) and luckily she was so kind enough to trust me and my vision and come aboard. I had only planned for 3 models but she was the perfect addition to the shoot. 🤩 photo: @byaprilalexander using @nikoneurope Z6II with 24-70mm lens model: @moniqueholtz_ @20modelmanagement styling: @chocolatebrother_ clothing: @dreamland_vintage @tommyhilfiger @tommyjeans earrings: @wantandwardrobe editing software: grading: @captureonepro skin retouch: @photoshop @adobeuk #nikonZcreator #zcreator #z6ii #nikoneurope #capetown #blackmodels #colouredmodels #southafricanwomen #moniqueholtz #afro #gingerafro #tommyhilfiger #tommyjeans #afromodels #dewaterkant #capetownsouthafrica #westerncape #blackfemalephotographer #blackfemalephotographers
