She grew up across India, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. That kind of itinerant childhood teaches you to read a room quickly: who someone is, how they want to be seen and what they're not saying. It also teaches you that beauty is not one thing. It looks different depending on where you are, who raised you, what the light is like.  That's what she brings to all her work.</p><p>Her work has appeared in Acne Paper and C★ndy Magazine. She photographed <i><em>The Drawer</em></i> by Vince Aletti, winner of the 2023 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook of the Year. Her commercial clients include Clinique, Victoria's Secret, and Vera Wang.</p><p>Connect</p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.anushilashaw.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.anushilashaw.com</a> </p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anushilashaw/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/anushilashaw/</a> </p><p>Instagram: @anushilashaw  </p><p><b><strong>WILL</strong></b></p><p>The WILL- Women Interested in Leaving Law Podcast is hosted by Elena Deutsch, a dedicated legal career coach and catalyst.
