Fold Magazine’s colour issue gave us one word: green. We took it literally and turned a studio into a greenhouse, with painted backdrops, real plants and a gel on every light.

Green on green

When the background, the clothes and the light share a colour, the eye goes straight to skin and gesture. Kofi styled each look in a slightly different green so the pictures would never go flat. Ruth painted the make-up by hand between frames.

We printed the series as contact sheets first and chose the edit with a grease pencil, the old way.
