This photoshoot is dedicated to all the South Asian women out there who are often underrepresented in media simply because the color of their skin doesn’t fit South Asia’s unreasonable, fair&lovely, Eurocentric beauty standards. As we all know, colorism is a huge problem in India and Pakistan. Our society has come to the point where people talk about fighting oppression and uplifting women, but no one actually does anything about it. With this photoshoot I wanted to help represent darker skinned girls in the media, and address the issue through fashion photography. ~ @simrahfarrukh
