Keeping Up with Yeezy Season 4

I decided to do my project on the experience at the Yeezy Season 4 presentation on Roosevelt Island, for New York Fashion Week. Since it was my first show, and Kanye West is infamous for selling the “experience” of his products, despite thier quality. Although I am behind the camera, I wanted to photograph it from the angle of the audience, therefore, bring you all along for the ride. So welcome to Yeezy Season.

Photo Essay: Yeezy Season 4

For my photo essay, I would like to take audiences on a journey to adidas x Kanye West’s, Yeezy Season 4 show on Roosevelt Island. The essay will begin with an intro into how one got invited to the show, and how the entire day unfolded.

The most important aspect of the project in my opinion is the ability to storytell, so I took photos at the show (that I already attended) in a way that would allow the audience to get a well-rounded idea of what all happened. It will also give fashion a more behind the scenes perspective.

Often times, the fashion industry maintain a very glossy and glamourous look from the outside, however, those who work within it understand that inorder to reach that glossy point, there is a lot of blood, sweat, and too many tears that go into it beforehand.

I want to showcase both sides of that in my photo essay. I hope you guys enjoy it.
