This series was shot as a test for both Mamadou and DJ Reese, developed with an editorial direction aimed at ID Magazine. The images move between black and white and cool blue tones, using hard studio lighting to build contrast between skin, denim, and simple streetwear pieces like tank tops and chains. Reese's rasta hair became a natural focal point in the color frames, while Mamadou's range of expression carried the black and white portraits. It was ultimately a test shoot for both of them, meant to see how they held the camera and how their looks translated across different lighting setups.
