Love in Bombay

In a city continuously grappling for space, lovers have found their own pockets of expression jostling against one another

- Anurag Banerjee

MY idea of love in Bombay is an extension of my idea of Bombay itself-of being one amongst others, of understanding and empathy. When I started out, it was merely a thing for me to do, to photograph couples locked in embrace, or staring out at sea, or clutching at each other to stay afloat in a sea of other couples. It was only later that I realised that I may be onto something larger with this series.

In the couples I encountered across the city, and in their comfort in being intimate in public, there lay something that spoke of more than private passion.
