This light-filled image, with its stark contrasts and tension between movement and stillness, reminds us of the reviving power of surrender to the present moment. The Siren series features model Precious John and was shot on the beach in Lagos, Nigeria. Adebayo shared with the Selects Gallery: “I think I’m always looking for the unscripted moments in a shoot, just as much as the scripted moments.The initial plan was when we got to the beach we were going to take bikini shots. Just really nice, aesthetically pleasing images, no story. And while we're taking the images, I just saw the way the reflection of light was hitting the water and I asked Precious “Oh, can you get in the water and just slowly approach?” And I just took those images because of where the inspiration was coming from. It's almost like I'm looking for the most unscripted moments where everything comes together.”
