About Contemporary Ethnic Wear

When I shoot traditional wear, I prioritize the interplay of fabric and light. Whether it is heavy zardosi or sheer organza, my lighting setups aim to preserve the richness of the embroidery while keeping the overall aesthetic clean and modern. We often use tethered shooting during these sessions so you can check the garment drape and fall on a monitor in real time, ensuring every detail is captured perfectly before we move to the next look.

I’m Aditi. I split my time between India and the UK, which informs how I look at traditional clothing—I see it through a global fashion lens. My focus is on making the garment the protagonist of the image.
