Urban Jungle, aims to capture the dynamic and multifaceted nature of identity, using fashion as a powerful language of self-expression. This visual narrative series examines the vibrancy of youth culture and the diverse ways in which young females communicate their sense of self within urban environments.

Urban Jungle is a celebration of the complexities of youth identity, where each portrait tells a unique story of female confidence, cultural influences, and personal authenticity. Through stylised portraits set against chaotic yet energetic urban backdrops, I aimed to highlight the duality within youth culture, where personal style can serve both as a shield and a statement. The project draws inspiration from editorial fashion shoots, where the contrast between the polished and the raw reflects the diverse ways young people express their individuality.
