Mel B aka Scary Spice

This vibrant photograph of Mel B, Scary Spice, captures her energy and charm against a stark London brick wall on the Spice World film set in 1997. Dressed in a bold, vibrant purple outfit, she flashes a huge smile, her hands playfully up in her hair. The hard HMI film light used by the photographer adds an intense, dramatic effect, amplified by the cross-processing technique — a method where film is processed in chemicals meant for a different type of film, resulting in heightened color and blown-out exposure. This authentic, analogue technique, done entirely in-camera, creates a look that post-production could only dream of achieving.

Printed 25 years ago as a C-type, using now-extinct chemicals in a darkroom, this hand-printed, one-off artist-proof image captures Mel B at her most fun, fashion-forward, and iconic. It’s a beautiful example of fine art photography meeting the world of pop, timeless and irreplaceable.
