Photographer Ketaki Sheth likes to click everything in black and white. Here is a look at few of her pictures of old Bollywood.
What is unique about Ketaki's photographs are the background elements which give you a peek into the way the industry functions. Also most stars are clicked in candid.
This photograph of the Bollywood actress Rekha was taken by photographer Ketaki Sheth way back in 1987 at a house in Juhu which had been rented for the film shoot.
“Being at the height of her stardom, she was conscious of the camera, suggesting the right angles as I moved around her. I think she would probably have had me do just a close-up or two but I preferred to include the props around her — the lights, the fantasy beach poster and the gilded birdcage, the oversized leather sofa. She looked every bit of the star she was then — radiant, confident, lonely,” recalls Ketaki, whose exhibition of Bollywood retrospective snaps is currently on.
