She is beauty, she is strength, she is Divine Power... and she will not hesitate to shoot an arrow straight through your heart.

This shoot was inspired by various ethnicities of early civilizations from Native America to the Ottoman Empire. Nicola and Ami attracted by the strong features of the model, Lakshmi, saw in her the image of a modern day warrior queen. She is Cleopatra and Pocahontas combined... draped in Aztec gold.
