Original editorial by Vanessa Di Palma Wright | Owner, Farasha

A creative collaboration produced in Covid friendly and safe parameters  between Farasha and team MANICPROJECT during the Covid-19 global pandemic of 2020. 

Times of uncertainty and discomfort lead to moments of solace and reflection.   The pandemic  has encouraged all of us to look within and hit the pause button to ponder the complexities of our mere existence. To question our routines and even the meaning of life and our “raison d’etre.”

The message is clear. This is a time of renewal. A moment to reset. An opportunity to listen and to learn. To be better humans. To be humble. To be environmentally responsible. To make more socially conscious decisions. To support our communities and one another. To stand up for what is right. To show more empathy. To be kinder. To redefine purpose. To be more present. And to live in the moment. 

May this transformation be the start to a new beginning. A fresh perspective on the future. A vehicle to embrace challenges ahead with more clarity. May this rebirth be a gift to Mother Nature and future generations. 

Together with MANICPROJECT, Farasha invites you to take the time to adjust, recalibrate and to meet today’s challenges and those ahead by being responsible, sensible and mindful of the impact of your actions. Wear a mask to stay safe and to keep others safe. Wear a mask because the alternative is simply to stay home. And since you must wear a mask, wear it well.

La Vie Boheme jewelry shoot

I loved the minimal nature of this shoot. The jewelry designer really wanted a soft, feminine, and organic feel. This was another collaboration with my friends at Farasha. A tiny crew including myself, the model, and two stylists. That's it. Natural light throughout.

FARASHA Fall/Winter 2017 Campaign

Vanessa Di Palma Wright started her company, Farasha, around the same time that I decided to dedicate myself full time to photography. We connected in the early stages of our brand building and have had a working relationship ever since. I am always extremely happy to collaborate with the Farasha crew, this is our latest project together.
