Elle India

Mar 2025

Elle India presents 'Ahead Of Her Time,' a fashion editorial feature lensed by Tenzing Dakpa. Centered on model Lakshmi Menon, the series explores varied textures and architectural environments through a series of intimate, high-fashion portraits. The project utilizes natural light to emphasize the tactile quality of the wardrobe, ranging from ribbed knits and embroidered textiles to sheer, layered fabrics. These images maintain a consistent, warm aesthetic, often employing grainy film techniques to ground the subjects within rustic, weathered settings. With makeup artistry by Mitesh Rajani, the editorial leans into a clean, minimal approach that complements the ornate corridors and exposed brick backdrops. Each composition reflects a deliberate focus on atmospheric, vertical framing.
