Through The Lens: STARGIRL by Majeek Daniel is a 90 second ride to notoriety

Eloma Daniel fondly referred to as Majeek Daniel, is a visual and creative director based in Lagos, Nigeria. A trained Sociologist, Majeek also spends his time operating his creative startup – SubUrban Agency and as a content creator for Radr, a magazine showcasing art, culture, and lifestyle from the lens of African millennials. He explains that his dream as a photographer is to shoot projects for the likes of Fader, Vogue, and Paper as well as to work with top fashion brands. His latest work, a short film titled STARGIRL, is a vintage splash of colors, it sonically depicts a young woman who is intricately obsessed with stardom. Scenes from the film bring to the fore a woman living in the moment, urban-oriented and isn’t scared of crashing.
Majeek points out that he got the idea from The Weekend’s song ‘I just see you shine cos I know you’re a Stargirl’.

Drive slow and enjoy the scenery – drive fast and join the scenery – Douglas Horton

It’s like driving your car. If you drive too fast on the highway, you will topple, so you better maintain your speed. Life is similar to that, and that’s the way you have to control your head – A. R. Rahman

Sometimes it takes a wake-up call, doesn’t it, to alert us to the fact that we’re hurrying through our lives instead of actually living them; that we’re living the fast life instead of the good life. And I think, for many people, that wake-up call takes the form of an illness – Carl Honore
