    AK:There will always be challenges during a shoot. However, we have done this for over a period of time. This is the 17th edition of the calendar and the planning took nearly around four months. We have a team assigned to work for each vertical, right down to the smallest details. Our team supervises all aspects of the shoot and always ensures smoo...

    AK: I am always looking for an X-factor among the models. We need them to be very fit to carry off the swimsuit. This has nothing to do with being skinny and not to be mistaken as such. The calendar has been a platform for many faces launched in the past. We test all the models in identical conditions in the studio and send a combination of those i...

    AK: Apart from the fact that many faces have been discovered from the pages of the Kingfisher Calendar, I believe it has been a part of the modern Indian women’s growth story.

    AK: I have always believed that no typewriter writes a novel by itself. Similarly, equipment is only a means to an end. What you do with it is up to you and can be credited to the life experiences that you have had.

    AK: I think the process of taking photos has become a lot more democratic. On a given day, almost anybody can take a halfway decent picture. They can always enhance that image using Lightroom or Snapseed and similar apps with a reasonable amount of practice. Having said that, some of my favourite photos to date are those taken by people like Richar...

    AK: When you are shooting for advertising, there are clear cut briefs that are in place. Your art is effectively for the mart. However, for me what is a consistent turn on is light. I am constantly observing light around me and it is a continuous love affair.

    AK: Literally, anybody and everybody now believes that they can shoot professionally. The head of a jewellery company recently wanted to shoot his own advertising assignments for his brand. So, the biggest challenge is that there are literally thousands of “professional photographers”. To separate yourself from fierce competition, it would be a goo...

    AK: The modelling scene has drastically changed over the last two decades. With the influx of foreign models, I think we have effectively wiped out the “Indian Supermodel”. Overall, people are a lot more conscious of their physical appearance and diet. Literally, everybody now on the other side of the camera is in terrific condition. The advent of ...
