Sarah Bahbah’s photography has gained popularity all over social media and the art industry over the past years. You might’ve already come across her picturesque snapshots and subtitle-like captions featuring some of the hottest celebrities of our current times like Sonia Ammar or Dylan Sprouse.

There are various elements of Sarah Bahabah’s work that make it so appealing, for us it is all about the romanticism present in her work, the saturated colours of her images and the profound narrative present in all of her visual series. Her success cannot be tied to one single element, but if you ask us it is the latter – the narrative she manages to create through her stories – that differentiates her work from the mass and has led her still images to everyone’s Instagram feeds (and even walls).

The Palestinian-Australian photographer and writer uses her camera to explore personal themes and present them in a rather cinematic style. By combining images with words she creates images that evoke an experience similar to the one of watching a series, touching on topics ranging from female empowerment to abuse and heartbreak.

Bahbah’s latest project, “Fool Me Twice”, done with the support of WePresent, is a photographic series exploring the complexity of attraction between individuals, questioning why are we attracted to the people that we’re attracted to. The project features none other than the “Internet boyfriend” sensation, Noah Centineo, and Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why star, Alisha Boe. It follows the romance of a couple inspired by real-life events experienced by the photographer herself.

The story unfolds in Los Angeles, with the still images taking us around various locations across the city from The Brick Man to a reserved mansion. The movement present in the images and the fun composition that characterises them are in true essence of Sarah Bahbah’s photographic style and completed by her ironically toned captions.

As the photographer explained in a recent interview with Vera Papisova for WePresent, her relationship habits and personal characteristics are what guided her latest project and overall art.  

“I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I risk exposing myself to heartbreak…When my anxiety around relationships is activated, my inner dialogue pours out from me line after line. Over the years, I have learned to express myself more openly to my partners, but there are still things that go left unsaid. It is mostly those lines that I can’t let go of that make it into my art.”

However, this project is not just a mirror to her love experiences but also a presentation of her vision of the “attachment theory” by John Bowlby. It expands on the different patterns that can be present in any relationship, the walls that can be built or torn down by two individuals and the different attachment styles that exist.

This series is aimed at anyone who has questioned their own character when faced with love and attachment issues, for those who have felt like a “fool” in love.

]]> Sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect valentine’s gift for the man in your life, when dinners, experiences and days out are all out of the question with lockdown. We’ve come up with some creative and trendy gifts to get him for valentines day 2021. 

Aftershave

Aftershave always makes a great Valentine’s day gift, and especially with a classic or a great cult favourite like Black Orchid, a full and sensual fragrance with tones of bergamot and vanilla, it’ll always be appreciated.

Jewellery

Jewellery is a great option for a romantic present. Whether an engraved bracelet or a silver ring, there’s something quite permanent and memorable about jewellery, especially if it’s made to last. And as men’s fashion icons such as Harry Styles show the importance of accessorizing, now is a great time for gifting men’s jewellery.

A Wallet

Why not get him a designer wallet or card case this Valentine’s day? Leather goods make great men’s gifts for any occasion and you could even step up the romance of the gift a little with an engravement or a polaroid picture slipped inside.

A Beanie

While the weather is still cold, warm branded beanies are a great idea for Valentine’s day, even if the only reason to leave the house is for a walk.

Trainers

What guy doesn’t love a pair of trainers? With nights out now-a-days consisting of late night trips to the shops and daily walks, a pair of trainers are ideal.

Tracksuits

For nights when all you’ve got to do is cuddle on the sofa and watch a film, getting him a hoodie is all he needs. Its also the perfect gift for you to ‘temporary’ borrow.

]]> Valentine’s day is coming up and with lockdown preventing dinner dates and luxury weekend getaways, you might be struggling with gift ideas for that special woman in your life. Well we’ve got you covered with the following ideas that will keep the day romantic no matter the situation.

And if, like a lot of us, you’ve struggled with relationships and dating during the pandemic, we’ve got some ideas to help you treat yourself, because after the past year you’ve had, you deserve some TLC.

Self-care Hamper

Self care hampers are a great way to treat yourself or someone else on Valentines day. Especially with the stress of the last year, relaxation and self care is much needed and any opportunity for this should be sprung on. Whether you make a personalised hamper, or find the perfect selection premade, like this energising gift set from Rituals, a bit of a pamper will always go down well.

Bouquet of Roses

Delivered roses are a romantic classic, and are bound to be popular this year with many couples apart because of isolation. This one is more a gift for someone else than yourself, as there’ll be no lonely awkward valentine’s day in the office this year.

A Ring

Rings are another classic gift for valentines day, but don’t worry, we aren’t expecting you to propose: Gucci have some beautiful rings that say romance and passion without the risk of a false proposal. You can even get it gift wrapped in Gucci’s classic luxury packaging. It would be a great gift to spoil yourself with as well.

Skincare

Another brilliant valentines day gift for yourself is a good skin care session. Treat yourself to a facial, grab a glass of wine and binge watch Sex And The City this Valentine’s Day, it’s the best and bougiest way to spend it this year.

Loungewear

Treating yourself or your girlfriend to some loungewear is another great idea for a valentine’s day present in the current climate. Most of us are spending all our time in comfy clothes whether working or relaxing during isolation, so new luxury loungewear is where it’s at this February 14th.

Coffee Table Books

We all love a good coffee table book – fashionable, aesthetically pleasing and an interesting read. It’s a great idea for a gift for a girlfriend, showing you know her interests in art, design, fashion or film as there are so many topics to choose from with coffee table books. It’s always a great gift for yourself too, as a nice addition to your home and your reading list. We love this Chanel Catwalk Collections book – a best-selling portfolio of Chanel’s greatest collections, complete with over 1450 detailed illustrations

Lipstick Sets

Lipstick has always had a link with Valentine’s Day – red lips, the kiss stain – and it’s often an event we buy lipstick for, something cosmetic brands have understood, dedicating shades of red to the occasion. Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting to the one you love, a luxury lipstick gift set is never a wrong move for such an occasion.

Perfume

Perfume is a brilliant gift for Valentine’s day – it’s romantic and memorable, and with more beautiful bottles and scents than ever, there are plenty of great fragrances to choose from for your valentine this year. Like everyone, we love the KKW fragrance Crystal Violet Musk: with a minimal crystal shaped bottle, and lush tones of lavender, violet and bergamot, it’s a sweet present for the day.

Lingerie

Whatever your situation this february 14th, there’s nothing like a sexy set of lingerie to be worn and appreciated on the day for love and affection. You could even be buying solely for yourself this year, wearing it for your own enjoyment and appreciation. Much like lipstick, brands have sales and sections dedicated to the special day so you can find the best seductive set for yourself or your partner.

Nail Varnish

With nail salons closed for the moment, a good gift idea is an expensive, glossy nail varnish like this Christian Louboutin one. High end nail varnishes like this always deliver a salon grade manicure from home and with beautiful packaging and vibrant shades, it’s a great gift for the current climate, or a perfect purchase for yourself.
