MAKE UP AMBREEN

This was quite a challenging shoot! Firstly, The traffic was a nightmare – so just over 1 hour’s journey was taking 3 hours! So you can imagine everything running late (fortunately, I was given a heads up so took a different route).

Secondly, the couple had booked into quite a swanky hotel – which suffered a power failure, so they had to decamp last minute to the Hilton in Croydon. When I got to the Hilton, the foyer was packed with people – Tesco were having a Christmas staff party!!!!!!!

So you get the idea, not the ideal start. To be honest, I was scratching my head thinking of what to do – but then I took one look at Krishika, who was not fazed and had placed her confidence in me – so if she was game on so was I, and here we go!

So on with the introductions, here’s Krishika

And here’s Krishna. These shots were taken in a small corner where they serve breakfast (even had a waiter asking if we needed help – lol)

It’s been a while since I posted a straight B&W image, but my gal was working it real good!

And here is missy in the underground car park. I guess the moral of the story is that it does not matter where you are, or what you wear, it’s really all about YOU!!!!!

I stayed in Amritsar for a few days and when your there one of the must do things is to visit the Golden Temple. So I jumped in a tuk-tuk and off I went. If you have ever travelled in India you will know what the driving is like, so I grabbed some pics on the journey.

Check out the three amigos on their bikes!

All the shots where taken from inside the tuk-tuk. It may not look it, but he was really close to the back of this car (can see the inside of the tuk-tuk in the shot) and they were both going really fast with a few inches gap!

All of a sudden, the streets got narrower & more congested.

This is where the driver parked up and said ‘I meet you here when your done’ – that’s my tuk-tuk on the right. He sure was gonna wait, as he had not been paid yet (handy trip – when in India, pay when your done).

So I walked around the corner and it was there. The first thing that you see is the outbuilding, and I entered from here.

Here it is!

The temple is surrounded by a lake and you really get to see the reflection.

You can see the walk-way leading to the temple itself, still lost of people going in at night.

This is another shot of the walk-way and the temple.

After this I was witness to another amazing spectacle of physics and house-fly reactions – or as it’s more commonly know, Indian driving!
