About

Stretch Your Story is a fashion editorial project that explores the intersection of movement and form. Photographed by Daniel P. Shea, the series utilizes long exposure and multiple exposure techniques to trace fluid action within a controlled studio environment, contrasting stark, low-key lighting with cleaner, natural light portraiture. The series features model Grace Valentine, with fashion styling by Akari Endo-Gaut. The visual narrative relies on the interplay of texture and silhouettes, supported by set design from Peter Klein. Casting was managed by Isabel Bush, with beauty contributions from hair stylist Erol Karadağ, makeup artist Yumi Lee, and manicurist Gina Edwards.
