Shraddha in her Element: Photographer

I know you’ve been introduced before, but lets do it again. Meet my fabulous, super talented and awesome photographer and friend Shraddha. We were shooting one day and she showed up [like always] in jeans and a tee and her converses. Only difference was that this time I actually liked the thrifted off shoulder sweatshirt she was wearing. Pretty cool huh?

I’m always bugging her about her ultra low-cost low/no-maintenance fashion [non] sense. But secretly I like it [Don't tell her that]. She stays true to her comfortable arty farty indo-fused casual fashion. It never looks like she tried too hard, infact quite the opposite. There is always a coolness in ease.

Besides that you all have seen all the fabulous pictures on this blog and you know that she has the perfect eye for composition and that she is truly utterly talented!! What’s more fashionable than being really freaking good at what you do?

I love you hunny!!! And Thank you!!

The Fashionista and Photographer in their red ecstasy!!

Let me say that I am a big fan of Prutha's enthusiam of fashionable explorations, but this week, I was floored by this amazing photograph that she took of me. As you can see in her personal fashion post, this girl has no qualms of plonking in the snow, having a little fun, and strutting her extremely cold toes in 12 inch deep snow, I felt inspired and did the same on this abandoned squash court (except I was snug in my rain boots). She is now quickly learning the tricks of MY trade, and this weekend, we switched rolls for a hot minute. She photographed me as I threw around balls of snow...gotta have fun while working man! The two images also telling how insyc we are becoming. The red scarves and the uber excited attitudes!
