My final 24 hours in Delhi proved quite busy. We were lucky to have a travelling American artist/photographer, Joey Edwards, join us for our last street shoot.
Joey had volunteered with Conserve India a few years ago and was dropping in to the office to say hi. We, of course, jumped at the chance to have an extra photographer for our planned photoshoot at Delhi’s Connaught Place shopping centre.
And here are the citizens of Delhi who graciously stopped to model our bags. Amazingly, these lovely ladies knew about the project because they’d read about it in the papers…
…and we thought our next model, Sujay, looked far more stylish than the United Colours of Bennetton mannequins we snapped him in front of (especially their hair arrangements…or lack thereof).
…We loved how Sumit’s dark clothing highlighted the bright colours of our Games messenger bag…
…and, finally, the very obliging Anyad and Mrinali, lending us their unique looks for this photo…
What was great about the shoot was that people got the idea quickly; they understood what we were trying to do.
We were overjoyed with their show of support (and the photos – thanks Joey and Jenna!)…
…like Shammi Kapoor (the ‘Elvis of Bollywood’) on seeing his true love…
…or Rahat Fateh Ali Khan mid-flight in song…
…Gold!
