Fortune8217;s Face/Sumeet Chopra

A photographer for almost two decades now, Sumeet Chopra has shot over 1,000 campaigns. He has worked with every well-known model in the industry 8212; starting with Nandini Sen, Sangeeta Bijlani and Veena Prakesh whom he photographed at the tender age of 14. quot;I knew the first time I touched the camera that I had found my soul-mate.quot; And even though he was privy to the company of India8217;s most beautiful women, the young lensman looked outward when it came to his version of perfect loveliness. For Sumeet, it was Brooke Shields all the way. quot;I liked her full mouth and thick eyebrows.quot; The high-cheekboned, husky-voiced Anna Bradmeyer was his choice from India.

But now, having shot ad campaigns for Air India, Raymond8217;s, Onida, Digjam and Siyaram8217;s to name but few, experience has narrowed Sumeet8217;s choice down to just two models. Namrata Shirodkar and Madhu Sapre are his muses. quot;They are versatile and can manage to look different in every picture.quot;
