In an attempt to revive this neglected, yet challenging genre of camerawork, Glenfiddich and Tasveer gallery are presenting the works of leading photographers.

Ask him the basis which these photographers were chosen for the show, and he says, “Many are photographers we have worked with in the past. Others were people whose work we had seen and which perfectly fit with what we were trying to communicate in the show. It’s a good opportunity to see work by a range of photographers — from young documentary photographers to established fine-art photographers — both Indian and international.”
