Ah, nothing like a good ol’ Fashion Specialization! Much like the one we just wrapped up here at LLA with the ever fascinating Aneev Rao! Three days of varied concept shooting with our model, Archana Nair styled by Anchal Notani with hair and make up by Dhanya Raghavan.
Here’s what Anchal and Dhanya had to say about the experience:
“I’ve always loved Aneev’s work, so I jumped at the chance to work with him! As a team, it really helps when you and the people you work with have a similar aesthetic as it all comes together to create a particular look. I couldn’t have asked for more as everything just fit so perfectly! The atmosphere, the Light & Life campus, the materials we had access to, specifically some amazing backdrops that I’d never seen anywhere else. Working with Aneev, Archana and Dhanya was an absolute pleasure and I had a lovely, lovely time!” – Anchal Notani, Fashion Stylist/ Visual Artist
“This was the first time I was doing something with students involved. I’m grateful for being a part of something I could contribute to… be it with regards to make up, hair and styling. So it was a great experience and working with Aneev was a dream so, yeah, happy!” – Dhanya Raghavan, Hair and Makeup Artist
The students, too, had a lovely time learning a lot from Aneev as he shared his experience from being in the fashion industry.
Here’s what some of them had to say about the experience:
“Learning from Aneev was an amazing experience! Sir was very approachable while main-taining a sense of professionalism all along which I really respected. I feel like I did this entire course just to get to this specialization and I was not disappointed in the least. I also want to thank Aneev for spending his time sharing with us his knowledge and experience garnered over the years.” – Chinoy Matthew
“It was a really beautiful experience and probably the most memorable one, the way Aneev sir went on with the whole session. He not only taught us about technicalities in the fashion world but gave us insight into the mood and aesthetics in the field of fashion photography. He has helped me widen my perspectives and possibilities when it comes to creative freedom.” – Nandagopal Nair
