Skyscrapers and other typical metropolitan backdrops aren't required to create an urban vibe, the City Fashion photo series attests to that. Instead, all there needs to be is a sophisticated woman in fashion forward outfits with some semblance of industrial scenery behind her and the vibe just manifests on its own. Granted, the City Fashion photo spread does have a gritty feel as well, not the clean, crisp one that is often captures in nature-inspired shoots.
That is all thanks to photographer Adam Leigh-Manuell, who shot the City Fashion photo series and Alexey Adamitsky of Asiris Creative who retouched it. Full of rich yet neutral colors, the City fashion photo shoot has an edgy elegance that is completely becoming of an urbanite fashionista.
