Iguehi James’ shots reflected different colorful moods: friendly, bold and confident, sweet, energetic, and even sultry. Her passion for creative style came through in each shot, and everyone involved with the photo shoot enjoyed working together as a team of creative artists. The makeup artists’ work blended with James’ natural features accentuated how she looked in the various outfits and styles she posed in that day. And the hairstylists pulled off quite a feat - changing her hair from blue to pink to go with a different set of clothes! She also posed for some images in her lovely natural dark hair. THE COMBINED WORK OF TRUE ARTISTS Iguehi James is a proud small business owner, a mother to three young daughters, and a designer who integrates colorful patterns from her Nigerian heritage into her clothing designs. She is a true artist, and so is everyone who took part in this photo shoot. Everyone's efforts came together to create the images for the cover feature of TrooRa's The Color Issue Summer ’22.
In a photo shoot, people take many more images than will make it into the magazine so they can choose which images best fit the magazine’s eventual layout. So the TrooRa crew shot Iguehi James in various dresses and outfits throughout the two days, including some of her own designs and a couple of different looks and hairstyles. FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVITY Near San Francisco’s Metreon, the Zetta aims to be a “grown-up playground” for adults visiting the city. The Zetta’s common areas include a pinball arcade, dartboard, Plinko and Jenga games, old- style gaming areas, rock and roll posters, and quirky chandeliers. All of these became backgrounds, along with some solid-color walls. Serendipitous black and white graffiti outside the building and a bright pink door outside also found their way into the shoots, luckily sighted before the sun dipped behind the city skyline. With Cunningham’s vision, the photographer and crew showed remarkable flexibility throughout the day, shifting rapidly between indoor and outdoor shots and rooms with varying levels of natural sunlight. As a photographer will tell you, an indoor shot can require a very different setup than an outdoor photo on a cloudy day.
