Through You - Reneé Rapp

LA

In a small town, a young woman called Natasha Burnett has always been captivated by the world around her, finding beauty in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. With her camera in hand, she embarked on countless adventures, capturing moments frozen in time through her lens.

Soon after graduating, Natasha was kicked out of her home for wanting to study photography. Her father, who lived his dream directing films in LA, died when she was just 8 years old and her mother married a famous economist after some years. The same economist who kicked her out of the house for not wanting to follow a "worthy" path in his eyes. Even though her mother sent a monthly sum that her stepfather clearly wouldn't mind if it was missing, apart from that, the amount the girl's father had left her after his death, so that Natasha could continue to live well. Natasha often refused to accept her mother's money because she never defended her when that man came into their lives and verbally assaulted her several times before kicking her out.

Natasha then graduated in photography from Fine Arts and for a while continued to do her work in small places in her town, but Natasha wanted something more. She dreamed of exploring new horizons, seeking inspiration in unknown landscapes and faces. So when the opportunity to move to Los Angeles came, just as her father would have done, she accepted with no regrets.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Natasha was immediately struck by the vibrant energy that pulsed through the streets. The city seemed to be teeming with creativity, and she knew she had made the right choice. With her camera hanging over her shoulder, she began to explore every corner of her new home, eager to capture its essence in her photography.

From the sunny beaches of Santa Monica to the bright lights of Hollywood, Natasha immersed herself in the life in Los Angeles. She strolled through bustling neighborhoods, pausing to capture the kaleidoscope of colors and cultures that surrounded her.

But it wasn't just the city itself that caught Natasha's attention; it was the people who called it home. She found herself drawn to the stories etched on the faces of the strangers she met on the street, each one a thread in the intricate fabric of Los Angeles life. With each click of her camera, she sought to capture the essence of these stories, meeting a variety of people in nightclubs and even golf clubs.

In a few months, the girl found herself settled in her small apartment in the big city as if she had finally found herself.

One sunny afternoon, while Natasha was busy capturing the vibrant street art of downtown Los Angeles, she received an unexpected phone call. On the other end of the line was Marcus Reynolds, a renowned talent scout from one of the city's biggest agencies.

"Natasha," Marcus began, his voice full of enthusiasm, "I found your portfolio online and I must say I'm impressed with your work. Your photographs have a rawness and authenticity that is hard to find. We would love to have you on our team for future directions and even feature productions.''

Natasha could hardly believe her ears. It sounded like a dream come true. With her heart racing and a smile from ear to ear, she enthusiastically accepted the offer.

Within a few days she found herself working on high-profile projects, collaborating with some of the most talented artists in the industry. Even though she didn't have the opportunity to work on a project of her own, it was already a start and she knew that an opportunity would eventually come her way.

Natasha Burnett's journey into the world of photography took an unexpected turn when she received a call from a renowned music label in Los Angeles. They were impressed by her artistic vision and believed she was the perfect person to direct a music video for their latest rising star, Reneé Rapp.

Excited by the challenge and the opportunity, Natasha enthusiastically accepted the offer. She dove headfirst into the project, immersing herself in Reneé's music and lyrics to understand the essence of the song. Natasha felt the depth in the girl's work and began to wonder what else she was hiding in those deep lyrics.

The day that the producer had arranged for Natasha to meet Reneé Rapp had arrived and with it a certain anxiety. She walked through the corridors of the record company until she heard a voice that had been in her head for the last few weeks in a glass room next to her.

Natasha was struck by Reneé's passion and charisma, she spoke so easily to the others and everyone in the room seemed very comfortable with her presence. "Natasha Burnett? A tall man spoke through the glass door of the room, just then she realized that everyone was staring at her from the inside.

''Yes, it's me,'' the girl smiled shyly as she entered the room, which was full of welcoming smiles.

''Alright, Reneé this is the photographer we were talking about'' Her manager, the guy from before said and the girl immediately stood up shaking Natasha's hand.

"Nice to meet you Natasha! I've seen your work, and I'm beyond excited to collaborate with you on this project! When you were signed I didn't think twice about who I wanted directing my videos.'' Reneé spoke smiling while the others in the room chatted among themselves about the project.

''It's an honor to be able to work with you, I've been studying your songs for the last few days and I must admit, it's been a long time since I've been as inspired by the lyrics of a song as yours have inspired me'' The blonde smiled at Natasha as if she had received the best compliment in the world. Reneé stared at the girl for a few seconds until someone in the room stood up, "Let's get started, we've got a lot of work to do everyone!''

They bonded immediately, sharing ideas and brainstorming concepts for the music video. Together, they envisioned a visual masterpiece that would perfectly complement Reneé's music.
