NICK DAVID / DOVE

For over 20 years, the Self-Esteem Project has partnered with parents, teachers, community leaders, and NGOs to share body confidence and self-esteem resources with 137 million young people worldwide.

Commissioned by Dove, Nick was brought on to shoot the campaign, which featured 15 young people aged 9–14, all of whom had taken part in the DSEP, helping give them confidence ahead of the session.

Shot in a local school in South East London, the aim was to capture authentic, natural moments and interactions.

The young people were brilliant and made the shoot a real pleasure — “It was great to have so much energy and positive emotion on set.
