I want to see her face!
lockwoodx
I have a feeling this is less about the journey and more of an excuse to wear all those outfits.

Behind every great woman there's a dude with a camera.

I wish I was that rich though

FYI there's a metric ton of Photoshop in these images. Some just for colour correction, but also sky/background replacement.

Ok now show us the unshopped pictures with all the bustling people

I honestly am not impressed by these pictures. Just another example of cultural exploitation.

I think they are very beautiful, but I was disturbed to see her post a photo saying she wished she could play an asian character in a film..

I want to be a woman now just so i can wear dresses like that.

Fuck it- do it anyway. You only get one go at life. Women insisted on wearing trousers. Why should you be left out?

Anyone else getting sick of seeing these pics?

them outfits tho hhhnnnngggg

But is the dress gold or blue?!
Dawnstempest
As a man, those dresses are simply something else. Absolutely amazing, beautiful pieces.
SKhaaaaaaaaan
Those backs. I'm officially a back man
TripleChocolateSlayer
This looks so awkwardly shopped
somecleverreference
You can see in the last one, they forgot to change the color of the triangular area between her right side and the veil. Great concept tho

Its portraying a romanticized image of india where white people can enjoy the beauty of the land w/o having to see/deal with real indians
matame
hit the nail on the head
mrmcspicy
Whatevs, we Indians benefit from the tourism and good image. Better than the stereotype that we're all poor and smelly.
cthulhuislord
None of those are actual pictures of India. There's no trash, mud, beggars, or shanty towns.
strangevisions

pajamallama
So true. I visited some of those locations and the reality is very different from what these pictures show
anuragsins1991
Yeah that last one of Lal quila is so fake with no crowd.
tinybleeeeeeeeeeg
Seriously though they used too much HDR. They could've taken these in a backyard and shopped the background for the same effect. No likey.
TheLetterKay
Hey look, pretty people doing pretty things. *eats an entire bag of cheetos*
fuerte13
The extravagant saris, suits, and lenghas that the girl is wearing is enough evidence to show that these pictures are photo shopped.
soso456
most of them aren't. The guy is a rich kid who travel with his private jet and take pictures. Always easier with a private jet
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
They're still very heavily photoshopped
herzogsnightmare
While this series is gorgeous, I can't help but be annoyed with it. Seems like such a rich white people thing to do, (1/2)
herzogsnightmare
dressing up in the clothes of a different culture, spending thousands to explore poor communities like they're a tourist attraction. (2/2)
itsybitsyspider
So...people can't go learn about other people and take pictures of their experience? And they can't wear clothes of other cultures?
herzogsnightmare
learning about other cultures and their people and building relationships = fine. But to me, this feels like it's using these cultures (1/x)
herzogsnightmare
as a photogenic backdrop for a magazine spread. would you explore the Vatican while wearing priest robes, or the Western wall dawning (2/x)
herzogsnightmare
a Hebrew Tallit to look photogenic for a photo series? probably not. And I struggle to see how this is any different.
matame
I absolutely agree with you, cultural appropriation to the nth degree over here
FrigginCornflakes
nah it'd be cultural appropriation if the white people claimed it as their own personal lifestyle. This is orientalism.
matame
But isn't her wearing traditional Indian clothing appropriation? Thanks tho, didn't know orientalism's definition before
FrigginCornflakes
if it is, then literally everything is appropriation. The purpose of these photographs is dressing up, but she's matching their clothing (1)

nope they aren't that expansive if you know where to look. surprisingly the most elaborate dress could be found for quite cheap too.

These are not very expensive. These are attires lots of girls wear for regular functions or events in india.

As someone who is from India, yes...the quality of many of the pieces she's wearing are quite expensive. Shout out to their stylist.

do you think they're homemade? or did she buy them? if she did I wanna get some.. so pretty

These were most likely bought. The quality, the detail.. it is hard to believe that they are home made.

I wonder where she got them then, so beautiful

I would love to know too, I don't think I can find something like this anywhere near me :/

6) Indian clothing retailer. But don't think that you have to spend $500 USD + to get a beautiful outfit. They have pieces that are nicely

5) also pricy, even though they are not real. If you're near any locations where there is a Indian diaspora you could probably find a
