India, like the country is as exotic as they come. With her cappuccino complexion and piercing emerald eyes India's future looks bright indeed. Currently a student, India has been modeling and acting since she was a child. She took some time off, but has now come back as a woman, ready and determined. India has such a light hearted personality, very sweet, and always wanting to have fun. She was so fun on set, always busting a move, or throwing funny looks at the camera. And she has this way with comedy, doing impersonations, and slapstick jokes, it was great. She was a joy to work with and definitely made for an extra fun shoot.

I called this piece mellow YELLOW because of India's personality. Immediately on the phone I could feel this warmth from her voice. She sounded really calm and relaxed, even though it was late and I think she just finished a long day of school, studying, and work. Furthermore, her attitude was so positive. I said, "I want to do something really spring like, really fresh." And we came up with the yellow dress. Yellow as a color represents brightness, joy, fun, freedom, happiness, and that's exactly what India has on the inside. And at the time, I knew the perfect place to shoot where nature was in full bloom and the trees and bushes were just as yellow and joyful as India and her dress. So even though she's a bit shy at first, perhaps even reserved, India's fun side only takes a few minutes to warm up. In other words, "They call her mellow YELLOW."
