As we enter into a new year, notable photographers across the country gear up to shoot for their 2020 calendar. And like every year, they have a different concept for their calendar shoot. While some try to showcase a new façade of wildlife by capturing nature at its best, others rope in the who’s who of the film industry to add an element of glamour to their photoshoot. Popular Indian celebrity and fashion photographer G Venket Ram did the same.
And like every year, he featured several well-known artists from the film and dance fraternity in his calendar, but this time he did it with a dose of nostalgia. He turned 12 actors and dancers into models for his 2020 calendar inspired by the artistic works of Raja Ravi Varma, reported NDTV.
For the uninitiated, Raja Ravi Varma was a celebrated Indian painter and artist who is considered among the greatest painters in the history of Indian art for a number of aesthetic and broader social reasons.
And among the women featured were artists like Shruti Haasan, superstar Kamal Haasan’s daughter who was featured twice in the calendar.
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
Baahubali actress Ramya Krishnan.
South Indian actress Nadia.
Actress and politician Khushbu Sundar.
Bharatnatyam dancer Shobana Chandrakumar.
Bharatnatyam dancer Priyadarshini Govind.
Tamil star Aishwarya Rajesh.
Former Malayali actress Lissy Lakshmi.
Actress and producer Lakshmi Manchu.
Chamundeshwari, a beneficiary at Naam.
G Venket Ram’s 2020 calendar featuring the recreational works of Raja Ravi Varma’s paintings was shot for a charitable trust called Naam, founded by Mani Ratnam’s wife Suhasini, reported India Today.
This is indeed an epic tribute to one of the greatest artists on the face of the Earth. Which one do you like the most? Tell us.
