The Chaos of Becoming: A Fashion Shoot Capturing Transformation and Identity at NFC
WORDS BY CONTENT CREATOR & NFC STUDENT, EMMY GELARDI-BUNYI
Becoming is never quiet. It’s loud, chaotic, and filled with sparks of transformation. NFC was the backdrop that allowed that beautifully messy, transformative energy to unfold and be captured on camera through a content photoshoot day where chaos met creativity.
In August, I had the honour to collaborate with some incredibly talented creatives to craft a memorable shoot with Priscilla’s Modelling Agency. As the content creator of the group I got to enjoy and capture my team working hard behind the scenes, in their element. Working alongside stylists Bella Barlow and Matilda-Lily French, and creative director, Manasa Lokesh, we were able to bring our vision to life through bold styling, dynamic direction, and collaborative energy.
The studio was buzzing, fabrics flying, ideas bouncing — pure creative chaos. And that’s exactly what we wanted. Our theme, The Chaos of Becoming, came alive in the most exciting way during our photoshoot, and the day turned into a celebration of growth, collaboration and artistry.
Chaos of Becoming is a collection of images that captures the beauty and disorder of life's turning points: coming of age, mid-life crises, and career crossroads, all symbolised through the act of choosing an outfit. Just as we navigate love, work, and self-discovery, we stand before our wardrobes each morning deciding which version of ourselves to present to the world. The project embodies this tension with clashing yet harmonious styling: vibrant prints with sharp tailoring, dreamy pastels set against structured blazers, and playful accessories that break up polished silhouettes. It's a celebration of imperfection, impulsive choices, and the evolving selves we reveal through our clothing.
Our talented stylists implemented a lot of details and layering elements to the looks, representing a layered life. Our team wanted to capture the meaning behind the shoot and convey it through the outfits and imagery shot by our amazing photographer,Wesley Tan. It was such a pleasure working with models, Eike and Avalon whose confidence and creativity helped embody the raw spirit of our theme.
From the moment we stepped into the NFC studio, the energy was contagious. All creatives coming together for a day of fun, creativity and purpose. It was incredible to see our group's vision come to life, capturing the essence of chaos and creation in every frame.
By the end of the day, we weren’t just capturing images; we were capturing moments of transformation, both in the models and in ourselves as a team. Working with such a talented team showed me how creativity thrives when shared, and I walked away with both images and memories that will continue to inspire my future projects.
