Just Two Lovers, Horses and a Paddock THE STUNNING MODELS OF ‘THE STYLE SKOOL’ REFLECT A STORY OF TWO PARTNERS THROUGH A SERIES OF PHOTOS, AND IT’S PHENOMENAL!

ABHIMANYU SINGH TOMAR [email protected]

ecently an editorial shoot caught our attention. It got a cover feature in almost all the leading Internation- R al Magazines from Kaltblut Germany to Luxia Milan. The story orbits around two old partners who met in a Horse barn having a great time af- ter years reminiscing the beautiful memories of the past and living them in present. The imagery is all about vibe, mood, and the emotions happening between them as per the described narrative. Being a horse-riding enthusiast and photographer by passion, he wanted to bridge an editorial with both his passion and hobby. One day post completing a riding session photographer Prateek Sharma immediately called famous fashion stylist Gaurav Bhatia and told him about exploring and shoot- ing the whole project with horses. He loved the idea and then with his magical sourcing he beautifully styled the shoot keeping in mind the vision of the photographer. National Designers like Siddar- tha Tytler and Dania Siddiqui, who understood the concept got on board immediately as they loved the narration. Super Model Sony Kaur and fresh face Yaduraj Singh Rathore from Style Skool have tried to give their best expressions as per the brief given by the vision- aries. Make-up & Hair artist Neha Singh tried some unconventional looks keeping it romantic and vin- tage at the same time. www.fi rstindia.co.in I www.fi rstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefi rstindia I facebook.com/thefi rstindia I instagram.com/thefi rstindia Promoted by Shree Salasar Oversease Pvt.
