A PEEK INTO THE GLAMOROUS WORLD OF FASHION - Saurabh Dua

How did you get into fashion photography?

I got my first SLR at a very early age, which was given to me by my uncle. After playing with it for a couple of years during my school days, I decided to make my career in fashion photography.

With increased competition in this genre, did you face challenges to reach where you are?

No, not until now. I am very passionate about what I do, which keeps me aloof from such thoughts. I am more bothered about my personal growth as a photographer and as an individual.

How difficult was the lockdown for you, and how did you spend your time during this phase?

Lockdown was not difficult for me at all. On the contrary, I enjoyed it as I never had this luxury to be at home with my family.

You’ve shot a number of high-profile celebrities and ad campaigns, what has been the most interesting campaign and person and why?

Seriously, I cannot think of naming anyone in particular. I certainly do not pick my camera just like that until and unless the assignment or the person I am shooting inspires me. So naming anyone, in particular, will be an injustice to all the others. But, in our life, that interesting is always yet to happen.
