MANDY TAKHAR

I had the pleasure of shooting Punjabi actress Mandy Takhar during her visit to Melbourne for film promotion. Although we initially planned a more elaborate session, her tight schedule meant we had only one hour to complete the shoot. Despite the limited time, we managed to capture some striking moments that truly reflect her personality and presence.

This time, I decided to experiment and work entirely with natural light, focusing on cool tones and black-and-white contrasts rather than my usual warm palette. The change in style allowed me to explore a fresh perspective and bring out different moods and emotions in the portraits.

A big thank you to Mandy for being so cooperative and professional—her energy and enthusiasm made the session smooth, enjoyable, and creatively inspiring.
