Caleb Femi’s creative practice spans film, photography, fashion, art and poetry. To date, his limitless vision has seen him direct shorts, fashion shows, brand campaigns, TV episodes, music videos, and author books.
His short ‘Giraffe’ was selected for Sundance Film Festival, and he’s directed episodes of Industry (HBO/BBC) and Champion (NETFLIX/BBC). A frequent collaborator of the late Virgil Abloh, Caleb directed multiple Louis Vuitton films and Abloh’s final runway presentation.
He’s helmed further campaigns for Bottega Veneta, Mulberry and TikTok. While his latest advert is the rambunctious ‘Playdate’ (EE). Caleb collaborated closely with Sampha across his ‘Lahai’ LP campaign, including co-direction of its lead film and live direction of his 2024 Alexandra Palace show.
A Dazed 100 shortlist, Caleb’s photography has been featured in Magma and Louis Vuitton’s ‘Virgil Abloh’ book. His stills illustrate ‘POOR’, his Forward Prize-winning poetry debut (PRH, 2020). While his new novel-in-poetry ‘The Wickedest’ (4th Estate, 2024), has received international praise for its cinematic, life-affirming qualities from publications such as New York Times, The Guardian and Dazed.
