Mrs. Rama Diallo called me late on a Thursday night because she had an emergency. She had a photographer scheduled to take some life style images for her upcoming Forbes magazine article, but unfortunately the photographer had to cancel last minute. So she sent me a text at 9:30 pm hoping for a miracle. After explaining what happened I had no choice, I had to get her in the studio ASAP!
As founder and CEO of the Great Green Wall of Africa (GGWoA) Foundation, she is on a mission to revitalize African forestry and reduce the overall impact of climate change on the continent. After explaining her passion to me I knew exactly what to do. In fact it only took about five minutes on the phone for us to realize that we are a perfect match, she has the passion, and I was the perfect person to bring it to life.
The next morning Mrs. Diallo showed up with a slew of amazing garments, but I knew the gold on the dark background would be the perfect choice for Forbes. She was thrilled with the images, and even more thrilled with the fact that we were able to get her the final images that evening. As a result we are working on some new campaigns for her charity. What can I say, some things happen for a reason!
