I love finding pieces that not only photograph beautifully but also carry meaning and history. Recently, I was gifted two stunning vintage bowls from Osaya Home, a home goods company dedicated to sourcing vintage and repurposed pieces from India. They specialize in unique, hand-selected items like chapati boards, dough bowls, and stone mortars, each with its own story and timeless character.

Osaya’s mantra, by and for the culture, says it all. Every piece they curate is a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship. These are not just props or decor pieces, they’re artifacts of everyday life in India, passed down through artisans and rooted in tradition. I can’t wait to start shooting with my bowls! The rich textures of the wood and paper mâché, paired with soft layers and tiny newborn details, will create something truly special and timeless in my photographs.
