Enter The Lab Episode 6: Vouks James
“ENTER THE LAB” is the content series where we showcase the talented, innovative and expressive individuals within our community.

The aim is to connect with the person in front of the camera beyond just the imagery. The approach is both grand, portraying their personalities/uniqueness in a monumental style, while maintaining a personal element, revealing a side of them that viewers have never seen before.
