Nesty Odina Wedding Gown Fashion Shoot at the French Riviera
A French Riviera wedding is synonymous with elegance, and when paired with a Nesty Odina wedding gown, the result is pure magic. Our latest fashion shoot with Nesty Odina at Chateau Saint Georges in the South of France captured the essence of high fashion and timeless romance.
It is worth noting that Nesty Odina designed this bespoke gown specifically for this photoshoot, inspired by the grandeur of the French Riviera.
Where Authenticity Meets Artistry in Luxury Bridal Fashion
One would assume that photographing professional models for high-fashion editorials would be a world apart from capturing everyday people in his signature wedding photography. As someone who has lent my lens to both, I would say “not so”. Tthe crux of any photoshoot—whether starring an Alexander McQueen–clad model or a bride in Vera Wang—lies in revealing the subject’s inner glow. Whether it’s a luxury bridal shoot or a high-fashion moment, the magic happens when authenticity meets artistry.
There shouldn’t really be a difference between photographing “everyday folks” and professional models. ‘The photographer makes the actual difference thanks to how much of the genuine person they are willing to reveal.
Models are more than just changeable mannequins modulated to fit a client’s brief. Models remain their own people, and the magic is found in the depth of their inner world—it may sound a bit of a cliché, yet it remains the greatest truth there is about successful photography of people.
Today, I feel I have crystallized my photographic philosophy into one purpose: ‘To reveal the internal glow of people, and nourish human connection, with unfailing mastery.”
