We handed model Mitali Rannorey a camera at Lakme Fashion Week and let her go crazy!

Hello there! I am Mitali Rannorey and I'm a model walking the ramp at the Festive-Winter season of the Lakme Fashion Week 2012. I've never used a DSLR camera so when the good folks from Rediff asked me to take pictures of what happens backstage, I was a l-i-t-t-l-e apprehensive.

As it turned out the good folks were also very, very, persuasive folks too. So here I am showing you the madness and mayhem that is the Lakme Fashion Week. These are some of the pictures I shot for Rediff. Hope you like them!

The thing about fashion weeks is that there are spurts of hectic activity followed sometimes by hours of absolutely nothing.
