PHOTOSHOOT IN INDIA FOR THE NEW CHAPTER OF DESERT FLOWER | MURKANI JEWELLERY
Join Kiralee McNamara, Murkani Jewellery's founder, for the brand's first ever photoshoot in India where the Desert Flower collection was dreamt up. Kiralee describes this new chapter of Desert Flower as refined yet timeless and was so excited to take the plunge and shoot the next chapter of this collection in India. Catch a glimpse of what it was like for the Murkani team behind the scenes of this ethereal photoshoot in India.
"The new Desert Flower pieces felt like the perfect reason to finally take the plunge and do a photoshoot in India, something I had always dreamed of. It was the ideal setting for this collection, as the designs were inspired by the floral cutouts in the walls of the famous Agra Fort in India."
We spent hours wandering around the temple, searching through the endless possibilities of locations, looking for different angles and lighting. I particularly loved shooting under arches and amongst the geometric architectural shapes and stairs.

These handcrafted jewellery pieces are a reminder that beauty can be found all around. The Desert Flower, set-in-floral inspired designs embody this beauty and how it exists in an array of forms all around us. The Desert Flower Collection is a tribute to delicate floral carvings that grace the walls of the ancient Agra Fort. Each piece whispers of a bygone era, where beauty was etched in stone.
"The day of the shoot we started at around 5.30 am to escape the heat of the day as by midday it was forecast to be 36 degrees with 95 % humidity. We headed out to Amer Fort which is about 35 minutes from Jaipur into the countryside stopping briefly for cows and elephants crossing the roads.
We chose to do the shoot at a temple behind the famous Amer Fort as it was much quieter. The temple was gorgeous, built in the 15 th century and made of red sandstone. The temple still houses families, goats, chickens, kittens and we met a friendly calf or two wandering around."
The passion of the Murkani team bleeds through the flawless imagery captured during this photoshoot and exemplifies their innate attention to detail. Capturing moments such as these draw attention to the thoughtful and beautiful Desert Flower designs. Kiralee describes what it was like to get the perfect shots and the magic the team ran into along the way.

This shoot was really magical, unique and filled with history and culture. I hope you love the shoot, and the new pieces as much as we do."
