Late last year I did my second shoot for Zarif Design www.zarifdesign.com, an Afghan fashion label that aims to bring back traditional Afghan methods of textile production by using contemporary, but at the same time, timelesss, designs.

This time the shoot took place at the beautiful fort of Turquoise Mountain www.turquoisemountain.org an NGO that was established to revive Afghanistan's traditional crafts, and to regenerate Murad Khane (see my blog post from last year http://www.sjcunningham.com/1/archives/02-2010/1.html), a historic area of Kabul's old city known for its rich cultural heritage. This setting combined with the beautiful pieces from Zarif  and the late afternoon sun were the perfect ingredients for a great shoot. Enjoy!
