This style outlier was captured on State Street right before it was getting too dark for me to photograph anyone. Apart from her floral print shirt and rad heels, I love the lights in the background and how everything around her is in motion while she stands still to pose for the picture.

Two weeks back, I got a chance to attend and shoot Akira’s spring fashion show - Valley of Castles. It was the second time I was shooting runway after the Fashion Focus Chicago shows. I collaborated with the lovely people at Laundry Magazine to shoot the Akira show for them. For the fashion shows I have attended in the past, I would have to do the regular waiting in line to get in but this time I had a press pass so it was great to just get in and find a good spot in the press area to shoot the show. Akira showcased a range of looks filled with bold geometric prints, neon, pastels, and a lot of tangerine tango – color of 2012. Here are some of my favorite details from the show. You can see more on Laundry Magazine here and here.

This is Rana and I photographed her two weeks back in downtown Chicago. I loved all the shades of blue in her outfit. In case you are wondering, she is wearing almost all J Crew with Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and Toms shoes. It always makes me happy to see people in bright and colorful outfits. It’s like an additional reminder that spring is actually here. What are some of your favorite spring outfits? Share them in the comments or on our Facebook page.

This is Gnat and I spotted her on one of the 60 degree days last week. She is a fashion designer in the making and mostly loves to shop for thrifted pieces. I almost always wear skirts to work but I have been in a pants mode lately and her colorful pants really caught my eye. Every time I go back to India, I make sure to buy similar pants because they are so comfy especially during my 20 hour flights. What are some your most comfy outfits?
