Walking around the older parts of Bombay is one my favourite things to do. After moving away from the city for almost six years now, a maternity photography session with Lavanya and Karl in Colaba and Fort really took me down memory lane. I was reminded of bunking classes at my college in Vile Parle and taking a Churchgate slow to loiter around Colaba Causeway. And of course, slyly walking into the Taj Hotel, only to use their washroom. Every passing kaali-peeli got me thinking of the share taxis I took while working in Ballard Estate and Nariman Point. I could go on.
We began taking photographs around the Taj Hotel, where we were lucky to have some beautiful warm light. As the day got hotter (and how!), we took cover under the arches around Horniman Circle Garden. The photographs below were shot on a digital as well as film camera. I also experimented with Lightroom presets from Mastin Labs for the first time. There’s nothing like shooting on film, but if you’re looking for film-like presets, definitely check them out!
