Manjari Sharma: Staged photography at its best / by Claudia Phares

I saw Manjari Sharma's Shower series at Paul Kopeikin Gallery in LA last January. Her portfolio is worth checking out for its beautiful portraits. She has just started a new series on Hindu deities which involves extensive preparation and staging. I like how she integrates her cultural values in her photographic projects. The first final image is simply fantastic. Read more on the preparation of the shoots here.
