SKATE GIRL SQUAD

SKATE GIRL SQUAD celebrates sisterhood and highlights the beauty of textured hair. It features 5 amazing Afro-descendant models showcasing the diverse beauty of their hair—from curls, loks, kinks to afros. In a sunny skatepark located in the suburbs of PARIS, girlfriends are skating, rollerblading, and cycling together with energy and joy, challenging the usual imagery of women—especially Black women —in these sports.
This project offers a vibrant perspective on identity and friendship.

RAMADAN

Captured through the lens of the talented Francesco Corti, RAMADAN by Al Badia Studio is more than just an editorial—it is a spiritual journey woven into visual storytelling. Featuring model Salah Farhane, each frame breathes serenity, embodying the deep essence of the Holy Month. Ramadan is a time of devotion, self-reflection, and discipline—a sacred period where the soul is nourished beyond worldly desires. This series beautifully evolves the message "Deen Over Dunya", reminding us to prioritize faith over the material world. The imagery serves as a call to awaken the heart, guiding those who may have lost their way back to a path of peace and purpose. Every photograph captures the interplay between light and shadow, mirroring the spiritual balance sought during Ramadan—the quiet moments of prayer, the resilience in fasting, and the profound gratitude at sunset. The editorial is not just a celebration of tradition but an invitation to reconnect with one's essence, transcending beyond aesthetics into the realm of meaning. Through simplicity and depth, RAMADAN is a testament to faith’s quiet strength, an artful homage to the sacred month that unites millions in devotion.
