Leela

The above photograph, titled Azad Drinking, is one of four of my studio works that will appear in the new book Leela. This book is an interesting and beautiful compilation of erotic verse, taken from both ancient and modern Indian sources. The selection, translation, and commentary on the poetry is by Dr. Alka Pande, and the entire book is illustrated by a variety of Indian contemporary artists and photographers. I feel honoured to have had four of my photographs included.

Leela is published by Harper-Collins India. The official release of the book will be made by the French Ambassador at the French Cultural Centre on October 5th in New Delhi.
