Star photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha passed away this morning. A celebrity in his own right, he had captured actors, musicians, singers, artists and businessmen through his lens. We bring here, a special feature from last year in which the late lensman shared some of the most beautiful photographs taken by him.
It all began with taking a chance on his hobby.
After doing his BSc in chemistry at Mumbai's St Xavier's College, Rajadhyaksha started teaching there.
Two years later, he quit to join the photoservices department at Lintas, the well-known advertising agency. A hobby soon became a profession.
After years of urging from fans, he has finally given in and compiled a collection of some of his favorite pictures and written about how he came to shoot the images.
The coffee table book, Chehere, is in Marathi and meant only for private circulation.
The ace photographer shares pictures from the book and his insights into the legends with Patcy N.
