A girl revisits her most cherished memory: once upon a time, there were her friends, laughter, and joy.
To see beauty in the little things, as fleeting as they may be, means to capture a moment, a picture, a slide. And so, for this little while, she seizes the day…if only she could relive it again, and again.
A fashion film turned visual poem, She Smiles Today celebrates our present and life’s tiniest moments…before it’s too late to have them be anything but a memory.
We shot this dreamlike adventure on Alexa Mini, using Leica lenses. The photos were captured on a Leica 35mm.
