For this series, I wanted to share the story of Muslim models who were starting our their career in the Modelling industry.

My aim with this series was to follow them on their journey and photographing them while discussing challenges and obstacles in the industry as muslim girls and difficulty navigating through the industry and following their religion.

I chose the Lake District as a location for this because it showcases the models in space they wouldn’t usually be seen.

The BBC film crew came along to document this shoot.
