Shivali leads Design Flair, a London-based studio rooted in branding, graphic design, and web creation. Her calm presence and quietly refined aesthetic are felt in everything she touches — and this session was about honouring that, gently and with care. Shivali was clear about wanting portraits that felt aligned and real, while also holding space for her natural discomfort in front of the lens. Together, we created softness: choosing outfits that felt right, using subtle movement, music, and the grounding familiarity of her sketchbook. Her truest self appeared in the quiet in-between moments — and as the session unfolded, so did a sense of ease. These images reflect her clarity, her quiet strength, and the depth of her creative intuition. They speak to the power of leading with grace from behind the scenes, and to anyone who’s ever felt shy or unseen. You don’t need to perform to be powerful — your presence is enough
