This creative portrait session was born out of inspiration and spontaneity.
It took place in my cozy studio in the center of Rotterdam — just thirty minutes of focused creativity and connection.
The model, born in the Netherlands to Indian parents, brought her stunning turquoise traditional attire — shimmering fabric, delicate jewelry, and cultural elegance.
We used soft light, incense smoke, and subtle motion to create a semi-mystical atmosphere — something between dream and reality.
I wanted to capture not only her beauty, but also the feeling of pride and serenity that comes with cultural identity.
The result — emotional portraits that blend tradition, light, and femininity.
I always wanted to capture myself in my traditional Indian outfit… something meaningful and timeless.
I didn’t expect the photos to turn out this beautiful. Natalia made me feel comfortable and confident, and the atmosphere was magical.
When I saw the results, I was honestly speechless)) it felt like looking into a dream version of myself.
