My recent photoshoot with Shreya Halder has been featured in the debut issue of COPIED Magazine by The Next Bay Area Runway. This collaboration was one of those moments where everything just clicked. Creativity, style, and storytelling all came together seamlessly.
For those who don’t know Shreya, she’s the co-founder behind Merazine, an app that’s completely rethinking how we shop online. Designed by women, for women, it’s a space to discover new brands, style outfits for your avatar, and make fashion fun again. Oh, and did I mention it hit 40,000 users in its first ten days? That’s the kind of buzz you don’t see every day.
The shoot itself was simple but impactful. Set in a cozy, sunlit kitchen, Shreya brought her signature mix of elegance and boldness to every frame. She paired a sleek black blazer with striking russet boots, creating a look that felt effortless but packed a punch. The contrast was magnetic. The blazer’s clean lines against the boots’ vibrant pop of color. It’s a style that perfectly mirrors what Merazine is all about: confident, playful, and completely authentic.
The kitchen setting added a personal touch, giving the shoot a relaxed, relatable vibe. The goal wasn’t to overcomplicate things but to highlight the ease and confidence that Shreya embodies. The light, the mood, the styling. It all came together in a way that felt honest and true to her vision.
