When it comes to breath-taking photography,
@sirius.film is a fully-fledged film star 🎞️✨
Danika Magdelena’s analogue photography shines bright amongst a sea of image-makers in the converging worlds of fashion, music, and sport. Blessed with an innate ability to “capture candid moments”, the North London creative’s meteoric trajectory has seen her work ascend from ‘BTS’ snaps to billboard spreads over the last five years.
As sirius.film, her ethereal quality doesn’t just lie in the the 35mm film feeling that flows through her work. The intimacy Danika captures is only made possible due to her warm persona and kind spirit, which instantly puts her subjects at ease while she’s in her element.
When you look at her up-close-and-personal shots of Maya Jama, or the beauty of
@kwollem and
@__ffffff_’s wedding, you are immediately absorbed by the emotional connection she has with her subjects. Whether its creative forces such as
@damsonidris,
@jourdandunn and
@clint419 or musicians like Little Simz, Dave and J Hus, Danika has captured the biggest icons in UK culture in a deep, dear, and dreamy style that no one else in the game can emulate.
Danika has also carved out a niche in football photography. From shooting Héctor Bellerín and the Arsenal team on the Gunners’ pre-season tour of LA back in 2019 to capturing Raheem Sterling, Jude Bellingham and The Lionesses, Danika has a natural affinity with footballers; bringing the biggest stars of the game back down to earth with her work.
