Brick Lane Street Style

My friend Ntando & I were on Brick lane one Sunday casually (I was bonding with my camera) we we're also with his tourist cousin from canada who had the american version of my camera. 


It was quite a nice day so I thought I would take some street style photographs. 

Ntando in OBEY

Pretending he knows anything at al about film camera and the like

Guy in the middle said he was a model?

I was impressed with this one

I Love My Life As A ...

Guy In Black Kinda Looks like Tinie?

Illegal Transactions?

Woah!

In the hustle and bustle of things I though I would rather not stop people but catch the right moment whilst they were on their way to where ever. 

Photo Booth Goues

I was feeling uninspired and tried to reverse it by doing something potentially creative. I was subconsciously  trying to channel Thierry Le Goues SOUL work but I think it's able to stand on it's lonesome too.

P.S I'm 100% wearing shorts

Thierry Le Goues

I've been  seeing Thierry Le Goues work for a long period of time and it has always caught my attention, not least because of it's appraisal of BLACK BEAUTY. I'd never taken the initiative to find out the name of the artist until I went to the library at London College Of Fashion and basically scanned the whole thing SOUL is his most recognised work.

He stands for much of what I stand for.

Mock Burberry Shoot

A group of fashion foundation students asked me to model in there Mock Burberry PhotoShoot with a friend that intended to bring out a femininity to men and a more masculine or androgynous side to women. They made use of blazers, suitcases, bowler hats, fur throws and the like to create the following:

Styling: Anjelicah, Georgia

Photography: Alex cowburn

Edited: Omogbolahan Kolapo-Ajala without permission(myself)

They also managed to predict the future as Burberry are now using 'ethnic' models or black people as we refer to ourselves as in their newest campaign ...and its by the seashore.

Sacha M'Baye (Select) + Jourdan Dunn (Women)

Jourdan got scouted out of Primark in Hammersmith

Someone who works for Burberry added me about a week after this shoot and my heart stopped for a bit, but then realised she hadn't "scouted" me as such. Had merely  found me on the London College of Fashion group on Facebook.
