Prostyle x Pump it up-Harlem

Habakkuk 2:2-3

2 Then the Lord replied:

“Write down the revelation
    and make it plain on tablets
    so that a herald may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
    it speaks of the end
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
    it will certainly come
    and will not delay.

Friend/Model Kaiisa P.(IG: @st.kaii) came to me with this idea unbeknownst to her I had this same idea saved in my phone. Not knowing who I would shoot it with and when but I had it tucked away in my idea bank. Immediately I went scouting for a beauty supply store. My first stop being Harlem. First location quickly told me no. Second one, which was the one I really wanted said yes. I’m like, “Great! Can I get a name and contact info?” She told me to hold on. When she got back she said her manager would not allow it. She suggested I try their other store down the block. I knew I didn’t want that one but I asked anyway. She gave me the contact info of the person I needed to ask. I explained to her it wasn't going to be a big production set. Just me and the model. Not only did she say yes but she offered to opened the store for us an hour early to shoot. Shout out to Stephanie from Apollo Beauty Supply!

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the location because my heart was so set on the second location, but it’s funny how divine order works because looking back it created some of the best photos that I know now I would not have been able to take had I been at the second location.

This tall display of wigs just did it for me. This to me is my favorite shot. Kaiisa executed this shoot so well and we are both so proud we were able to deliver these images to the world.
