KINGFISHER
Calendar 2016
AISHA SHARMA
It’s an absolute privilege to be a part
of the Kingfisher Calendar 2016 and
the lineage that Kingfisher boasts
of. It’s been a unique experience.
Personally for me, I haven’t ever
done a shoot in swimwear. It was
an unexplored territory, which was
both challenging and very exciting.
Kingfisher is a huge platform and I
am glad I got an opportunity to be a
part of it.A huge reason for Kingfisher
Calendar to be what it is today is
because of the man behind it all, Atul
Kasbekar. He is someone who is very
passionate for what he does and it’s
been an absolute privilege to shoot
with him. The weather conditions
were challenging, to say the least,
and he is someone who still managed
to create something magical like he
has been doing since so many years.
I am proud and very happy to be a
part of the Kingfisher Calendar 2016.For the 2016 edition we were
caught in a cyclone for straight
ten days. So more time was spent
cooped under tents on supposedly
the best beaches in the world than
in actual shooting. The gorgeous
images of the 2016 edition are
testimony to the genius and the
patience of my crew (Kapil Bhalla- makeup, Richard Wilkinson -
hair, Allia El Rufai - stylist) and of
course, the photographer.
