The Mango Issue Set Design and Art Direction Architectural Digest Magazine India, 2020 The shoot for Architectural Digest Magazine was to create a series of images capturing the essence of Indian summers and the season of mangoes. India’s summers are synonymous with outdoor activities and the use of courtyard areas within homes, where the family gathers for various activities to enjoy the sun. Our goal was to celebrate those moments and to create images that do justice to all of the different moods of summer. Because the images were taken indoors on a set, light, shadow, and color were crucial to capturing the feeling of the outdoors. In each shot, different furniture pieces and varying light and shadow conditions were carefully curated.
