Production company Forever has signed 22-year-old multi-disciplinary artist, director and photographer, Chloe Sheppard, who is based in London.
Sheppard’s youth belies a prodigious output of work - and a plethora of Instagram followers - for clients such as Monki, Chloe and adidas among others. Her work deals with themes of youth, nostalgia and representation, and is influenced by her passion for Americana, French nouvelle vague cinema, music and fashion.
“[Her] portraiture has always focused heavily on the female experience,” said i-D magazine. “Whether she’s calling out body-based clichés or capturing the women she surrounds herself with, the London-based photographer offers a fresh perspective on contemporary womanhood.”
Sheppard’s first foray into short filmmaking, A Much Better Illusion, was shot on film over the summer and stars her long-time collaborator Sylvie Makower. It explores the themes of isolation, detachment, the mundane and the suffocating loneliness of the feelings of adolescence and coming of age through the abundance of water.
“Chloe’s gorgeous aesthetic, and her energy, generosity, positivity and industriousness captured Forever’s heart; they represent all the things we strive to be about,” said Sasha Nixon, Forever’s EP. “We’re so excited to be working with such an exciting young talent.”
“I’m so excited to be signing with Forever,” adds Sheppard. “Without the belief and help from them, making my first short film, A Much Better Illusion, wouldn’t have been possible and I can’t wait to see what projects we work together on in the future!”
