EMME is a wonderful client to work with. They are a collection of natural home fragrance products inspired by Asian scents and flavors founded in 2020 by Asian American couple Mark and Erica. After moving away from their families, they were inspired to create a line of candles that would bring the familiarity and comfort of their Asian heritage to others who were feeling homesick. Each product is hand-crafted in small batches in New York City and celebrates traditional Asian flavors. EMME is dedicated to sharing the richness and beauty of Asian cultures with the world! They are passionate about their brand and are dedicated to creating high-quality products that truly connect with their customers.

Photographing Dayana Beisenova was like stepping into a world shaped by both spirit and psyche. Her work—rooted in the Rorschach test and the unseen layers of the human mind—guided the tone of the shoot. We leaned into shadows, softness, and surreal textures to echo the themes she explores: the tension between the tangible and the subconscious. It was an honor to capture the presence of an artist whose work bridges inner worlds with external form, and whose journey spans from Central Saint Martins to the National Museum of Kasteev.
