Come As You Are: UNFILTERED. RAW. FABULOUS.

From celebrities to TV personalities, and even some furry friends, "Come As You Are" was a captivating black and white portrait studio pop-up held at the Godfrey Hotel Hollywood, hosted by Derek Warburton for the inaugural Gurus Magazine Pre-Oscar Gifting Retreat. Esteemed fashion photographer Josh Fogel, accompanied by the talented Ricky Steel, brought out the inner essence of those who stepped into his studio through beautifully expressive black and white portraits. Hair and makeup touch-ups were flawlessly executed by Joel Stylist, Bong2buan, and Norm Stylist, courtesy of the FGI NYC Rising Star winners, Saints and Sinners hair care.

With an emphasis on authenticity and self-expression, the portraits captured by Josh are unaltered, presenting a raw and genuine depiction of guests in attendance. Each image exuded a mix of emotions, from sheer joy to profound introspection. To view more stunning portraits from the event, visit GurusMagazine.com.
