The Greatest Showman excited our design team enough for them to create an entire styled shoot: This Is Me. The design was much more than jewel tones, velvet draping and top hats, though. The aim was to accept who you are and to be true to yourself.
“I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me”
“This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman
The print layout is featured below, but be on the lookout for extra photos, a behind the scenes video, and an interview with our real couple models in the coming months. Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you never miss a post.
