ballantines nigel riches

Yes, there was still a hint of that Arctic chill. And yes, everyone looked slightly dodgy after months of DIY haircuts. But who cares? Over the weekend we finally – finally! – met our mates for drinks outside. In this new age of al fresco socialising, we’re channeling the carefree, stylish summer feel of this Nigel Riches’s shoot for 

 from July 2020, not long after the first lockdown.

The client spotted a series of Nigel’s images shot in New York and wanted something similar – a group of 20-somethings on a rooftop watching the sun set over an unnamed global city. Choosing Brick Lane’s Old Truman Brewery as a location, Nigel’s still images and film seamlessly flow together to showcase the urban architecture in the background without making the scene too obviously London. The shoot was on the hottest day of the year, when temperatures hit nearly 40 degrees. Here’s to an incredible summer ahead – of balmy evenings, good pals and great hair.
