What started as a simple studio headshot session quickly turned into something unexpected. Nikki stepped in for a professional portrait, but we threw out the rulebook and went full ‘90s editorial. Raw, moody, effortlessly iconic—this shoot was pure magic.

Some of the best moments in photography aren’t planned—they just happen.

Nikki came in for a standard studio headshot session, but the energy shifted, and we knew we had to take it further. With nothing but a black backdrop, soft lighting, and a classic black-and-white Kodak film-inspired edit, we let the moment lead us. What emerged was a collection of images that feel straight out of a vintage fashion editorial—timeless, bold, and effortlessly cool.

The ‘90s influence is undeniable: the wild hair, the confident ease, the grainy monochrome tones that transport you straight to an era when supermodels ruled and film photography was king. This wasn’t a planned shoot—it was an instinct, a vibe, a perfect creative detour. And sometimes, that’s when the best art is made.
