STARR MAGAZINE // ESSENCE MAGAZINE X JALEN HURTS

We are delighted to have hosted the creation of Jalen Hurts' NFL Essence cover campaign at our studios. Witnessing the incredible moments of creativity and excellence is always a privilege, and adding Jalen Hurts' campaign to that list was truly an honor. Essence Magazine, a platform that celebrates Black culture and excellence, has consistently highlighted the achievements of Black athletes, and featuring Jalen Hurts on the cover is no exception. It serves as a powerful representation of the hard work and dedication required to succeed as a Black man in a predominantly white industry.

We are thrilled that our studios were selected as the shooting location for this momentous project. The attention to detail and creativity displayed in every aspect of the campaign was awe-inspiring. The professionalism and passion brought by the team were evident, from the lighting and set design to the styling and makeup. Each detail was meticulously considered to ensure the final product was nothing short of exceptional.

Being part of the team that brought Jalen Hurts' NFL Essence cover campaign to life was an incredible experience. Witnessing the creative process and seeing the final product come to fruition was truly inspiring. We extend our congratulations to everyone involved in the project, from the editorial team to the photographers and stylists. Their hard work and dedication resulted in a stunning visual representation of Jalen Hurts' journey and a celebration of Black excellence in sports.

In conclusion, we feel humbled and grateful for the opportunity to host such an important project. Working with individuals and organizations who share our passion for creativity, excellence, and representation is a pleasure. We are committed to providing a space where talented individuals can bring their visions to life, and we wish Jalen Hurts continued success in his career.
