“Making of Magic” is an early-morning portrait and lifestyle editorial shot at sunrise on North Avenue Beach in Chicago. Captured at 6:23 AM, this series stars Dakodah Epps and Jen Rose in a vibrant, empowering display of softness, sensuality, and light. Against the serene lakefront and an ethereal sky, the models interact with the water in a cinematic fusion of elegance and presence. Shot by Don Juan Ibitayo Sr. for Shooters Society Studios, this session merges intentional direction, natural beauty, and golden-hour mastery into a stunning visual narrative of feminine magic in motion.
