Seyi Shay a Nigerian
songstress,
released new photos in a Photo editorial called “The Corruption of Eve”. This photo editorial was directed by
fast rising photographer, Remi Adetiba and
was shot at the Lekki Conservation Centre, Lagos.
The photo editorial was firstly showcased at the 2015 edition of the
Lagos Photo Festival among a select iconic photographs that are of symbolic
stature in Nigerian music. The ‘Corruption of Eve’ reconstructs the story of
the fall of man in a more modern light with Seyi Shay
staring as the first woman “Eve”.
This photo has being categorize into four major scenes in the photo editorial;
the first depicts Adam and Eve in the innocence of their
nakedness. Seyi Shay is dressed in a flowy,
ethereal gown, whose nude tone closely matches her skin colour to give a less
obvious interpretation of Eve’s nudity.
In the second scene, we witness
the dramatic emergence of the serpent, played by a striking male model in a
full snakeskin suit, seducing Eve and tempting her with the forbidden fruit.
The final scenes depict Eve fleeing the garden after succumbing to the
serpent’s proposal. Her innocence is lost and she can no longer remain in its
purity.
