In order to encourage the participants, we decided to have
some prizes for the best pictures of the walk. SanDisk and Golla
were kind enough to lend us a helping hand to encourage the
budding photographers with 128 GB SD cards and designer
camera bags respectively.
Any fashion shoot is incomplete without models. We were
lucky enough to get three beautiful women for the walk. Tania
Jena, Komal Rane and Neha Dinesh Anand agreed to join us
for the walk. They were extremely professional and helped the
budding photographers with their inputs as well! Even though
the unforgiving Mumbai sun was posing problems, the models
helped the photographers with their shoot.
The photowalk began just as any other with the
photographers gathered at the starting point and we introduced
Ritam Banerjee to them. Ritam asked the participants to fi rst gel
with the models. The photographers were a bit hesitant at fi rst
and it was the fi rst step of the shoot. Any fashion shoot, Ritam
explained, begins with getting to know the model well. Then
the photographers were divided into three groups and asked to
take one model each, along with them. They were given a time
of 15 minutes and they had to shoot some beautiful pictures
within that given time and meet Ritam about 200 meters away
where the models would exchange groups and shoot with a
new group. This went on till all the groups had shot with all the
models. We were halfway on our route of the walk.
