Vogue Oct 2010: Indian Icons

One of my favorite shoots in India so far, the Indian Icons story for Vogue was a who's who of Indian culture, business and art. Shot over 2 days at Mehboob studios in Bandra, I was honored to be photographing such luminaries.

The theme of the story was Indian Icons and their chosen successors. The very best in their fields, these eight people were asked to name the best person most likely to carry their legacy forward. Enjoy!
