Carré Otis
The Telegaraph

The Challenge: Balancing Iconography with Authenticity
The goal was to photograph a high-profile subject, Carré Otis, in a way that felt "heroic" and aspirational while still allowing her personality to lead the narrative. This required a delicate balance between high-fashion armor and personal vulnerability.
The Solution: Strategic Collaboration & Brand Alignment
I took a proactive leadership role before the shoot, facilitating a three-way dialogue between the subject, her agency, and major luxury brands. By curating a selection of styles and colors that resonated with Carré’s personal brand—and securing the right fashion houses to support that vision—I ensured the wardrobe acted as a vehicle for her character rather than an overshadowing element.
The Result: A Portrait of Elegant Authority
A refined feature for The Telegraph where the fashion and the subject exist in harmony, resulting in a series of images that celebrate the subject as the definitive star.
