For the final project of my exchange semester, I explored the theme of Love through the lens of my evolving connection to both fashion and the friendships I formed during my time in Stuttgart. The shoot was a celebration of the love I’ve held for fashion for years, paired with the new love and bonds I created with my friends. Shot in the streets of Stuttgart, the city that became my second home, my friends served as the models, each wearing their favorite outfits, which reflected their individual styles and personalities.

Inspired by editorial fashion shoots and drawn to the timeless nature of black-and-white photography, I chose to shoot in monochrome to focus on the raw emotion and connection, stripping away distractions to highlight the authenticity of these moments. The styling and composition were deliberately influenced by high-fashion editorials, capturing the beauty in everyday life, where fashion, friendship, and love intersect.
