However, instead of generic models, Agilita wanted to get the Hampshire community involved, people that actually live and work on the south coast represented in the photos

The shoot was organised by Giverny Harman of Portsmouth-based marketing firm Bloomwork, with pictures taken by photographer Robyn Liebenberg.

Giverny said: ‘It was a relaxed atmosphere with the models finding themselves at ease among the Scandi-inspired soft furnishings, phone booths and office accessories.
