Image four from my celebration of Leica 100 Years.
From the book India Fantastique (Thames & Hudson), celebrating the work of Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
As part of Leica 100: Witness to a Century, Leica has selected fourteen of my photographs for its global centenary programme—marking one hundred years since the Leica camera shaped a new photographic language, defined by immediacy, proximity, and the decisive moment. This image forms part of that continuum.
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s forty-year partnership spans fashion, cinema, and interiors, shaping the visual identity of Indian luxury. They have designed for India’s leading actors and actresses, collaborated on costumes for epic Bollywood films, and dressed an international circle that includes Dame Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Sophie Marceau, and Sarah Brown.
Paramount to their work is the rediscovery and revival of traditional craft—working closely with local artisans and reimagining heritage through Indian antiques, artefacts, and vintage textiles.
