A test shoot to have a bit of fun, get creative and figure out the best way to do more of these!

Wild Muse Collective is an offshoot of Nillumums, and this first event is exactly that: an experiment. A chance for a group of women to come together and create something beautiful, a little dramatic, and completely unlike our everyday lives.

The idea is simple: women gathering to step into an imaginary world for a day. To play, create, dress up, collaborate, and be seen through a more cinematic lens.

This is not a standard photoshoot. This is an experience where you are the subject, the story, and the heroine.

The week before the shoot, we'll gather for a styling night. Everyone brings along outfit options, thoughts for their own makeup and hair, accessories, fabrics, strange little treasures, whatever feels right. We'll try things on, swap pieces, share ideas or makeup and hair tips, experiment with styling, and figure out what will go beautifully together.

For the styling night there will be snacks, BYO wine, and we’ll surround ourselves with dresses, shoes, jewellery, props, hats, crowns, coats, shawls, and half-formed ideas, helping each other make decisions for the shoot the following week.

Then on shoot day, we do it all again - but with direction and purpose. We’ll all arrive with our hair and makeup done (helping each other out too of course if need be!) and finalise styling, props and creative direction as we go.

We will use our own phones and just play, experiment and see what looks and feels right. The intention is to keep this test shoot zero / low cost… but the main goal is to have fun!

This first theme will be voted by YOU!
