Capturing Viv Latifa: A Portrait Photoshoot with Italy’s Vocal Gem in Edinburgh
Few weeks back, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Viv Latifa, an extraordinary singer hailing from Italy and currently based in the enchanting city of Edinburgh. Known for her eclectic musical repertoire, Viv seamlessly blends genres from R&B, mixed with Afro Latina to modern pop, bringing a unique vibrancy to her performances.
We chose a picturesque beach for the shoot, aiming to reflect both her Italian roots and the scenic beauty of her adopted Scottish home. The setting sun cast a warm glow, creating a natural spotlight on Viv as she stepped onto the sand, her presence immediately captivating.
Viv arrived in an array of outfits that mirrored her diverse musical style. We went with a classic everyday look: baggy jeans that echoed her operatic background. As she stood at the water’s edge, the waves gently lapping at her feet, I captured her serene expression and graceful posture, perfectly encapsulating the timeless beauty of her voice.
Next, we moved to a more rugged part of the beach, where Viv’s vibrant personality truly shone. Dressed in a bold, colorful outfit, she posed against the rocky backdrop, the wind playing with her hair and fabric. This setting mirrored her dynamic range as a singer, from soulful ballads to high-energy anthems.
Finally, as the sun dipped below the horizon, we transitioned to a casual, modern look. Viv donned a chic, contemporary outfit that reflected her pop sensibilities. She danced and laughed, her joy infectious, and I captured these candid moments that highlighted her approachable, down-to-earth nature.
The photoshoot was a beautiful blend of elegance, energy, and authenticity, much like Viv’s music. As we reviewed the photos, it was clear that we had captured more than just images; we had immortalized Viv Latifa’s essence—a true artist who bridges cultures and genres with effortless grace.
