"Raw Mango" lensed by Ashish Shah

"Raw Mango was born out of a thought to re-look fashion and design without any preset notions. The colors and designs find its roots in Indian philosophy and traditions. Raw Mango is not just about the designs but about a larger program that has managed to uplift an entire community by creating a new value for an existing and ignored product."

“Ungender” lensed by Bikramjit Bose for Elle India.

"What if your gender didn’t matter? Not it's stereotypes. Nor it's stigmas. None of the shoulds or should-nots. Not even its clothes. Just the freedom to be whoever you choose to be…. But first we had to confront our own prejudices — the language of he and she lives in the most liberated, forward-thinking and defiant among us. We decided to consciously dream of such a free world..." Elle India
Elle India teamed up with photographer Bikramjit Bose, to capture what it might be like to live without boundaries or preconceived notions.

“A Journey Through Japan” Ami Suzuki lensed by Erik Madigan Heck for Departures Magazine October 2016.

Heck identifies himself as a “painter who uses photography,” and cites the 19th century painter Edouard Vuillard as one of his major influences as well as the work of modern photographer Harry Callahan. Due to Heck's interest in mediums and technologies of the past, his reoccurring use of nature as a theme, as well as his focus on beauty as the ultimate ideal, Heck’s work has often been described as a contemporary extension of Romanticism. Referencing his own work, Heck explains that “...to access beauty is what we ultimately desire, and the tangibility of this access is what in my opinion ultimately differentiates fashion from art as end points on a continuum, and simultaneously elevates fashion photography to such an important place in contemporary society.”

Journalist Dan Thawley describes Heck’s work as “[having] a dreamlike quality marked by surrealist undertones, an appreciation for fine art conventions, and an exploration of various photographic mediums (both modern and obsolete)”.
