Weekend Fashion 

This weekend gone by I did a nice little shoot with a lovely group of enthusiastic and energetic people that all have one thing in common. Fashion. This photo shoot was planned to promote an initiative called Afro Lize Me - started up in 2011 to promote local and regional fashion and life style practitioners. To give a platform to express authentic African inspired contemporary fashion. This years event is scheduled for October 13th held at Sanitas Gardens, Gaborone - themed: LIFE. FASHION.ART a mini exposition and shopping extravaganza!
This is a lovely event that has been hosted to enhance local entrepreneurship and cultural pride. I was dazzled by the materials and patterns and all the amazing crafts that everyone has been working on tirelessly. I cant wait for the 13th October 


The shoot was done at one of our little Gaborone gems the famous tea garden and nursery Sanitas. It was lovely doing the shoot surrounded by all the plants.


I would like to take the time to thank everyone evolved with this project yesterday for their time and effort. It was wonderful working with all of you and enjoy the afternoon with all this energetic, vibrant , creativity that flowed off like water.
But let me stop yakking on about the shoot and introduce you to the models with the first release of their Portrait shots in Black and White Pre-shoot shots to setting up.
