Black & White story by Mumbai, India based photographer Vidhi Thakur

Like they say It all begins with an idea. I had this bath tub in the studio which was left behind by the production for couple of day after finishing a commercial shoot we did for a Brand.

I loved the look of this white bath tub sitting idle in my studio wrapped around this beautiful white summer light reflecting off from all the studio wall.

I spontaneously called Alina, I just met her in our last shoot and felt she is amazing how she expresses.

She said ok lets do it and with in an hour she was in the studio with very minimum makeup and roughly done hair.

I had asked her to carry basic clothes and thats all as the idea was not to focus on anything but her. I looked at her and said thats it - You look perfect ! and I dont want any makeup or any accessories on you.

She loved the whole idea and we started shooting.

We were lucky to have this soft beautiful light throughout these two hours. So without worrying too much about diffusing the light every time she moved, I only focused on capturing her. Light was enhancing her freckles so beautifully that we decided to keep her skin looking raw even in post and which is what I love as we dint want to take away this rawness of her beautiful freckles.
