A sad news item to report, famed fashion photographer Prabuddha Dasgupta has passed away in Mumbai from a heart attack. If you do not recognize his name, you’ll surely recall his iconic pictures. In the 1990s, Prabuddha was able to achieve success in Europe, making him a pioneer for future fashion photographers from India. In 1996, he took a bold move and published “Women“, a series of portraits of urban Indian women, some being nude More recently, his work with Lakshmi Menon as his muse was published in Vogue India on a number of occasions.
