Books
I have taken the photographs for two of Keith Lovegrove's books, "Pageant" and "Graphicswallah." Here are some sample spreads from both.
Synopsis from www.amazon.com: A high-camp, behind-the-scenes tour of the glittering world of the beauty contest. From the well-known spectacle of Miss World
to the flamboyance of the Alternative Miss World, the beauty pageant is an international phenomenon, and this
book pays tribute to our human obsession with the beautiful.
"Graphicswallah, Graphics In India"
Synopsis from www.amazon.com:From Mumbai to Chennai and from Kochi to Karachi, from the humble signwriter to the blue-chip advertising agency, the
creative industries of India entice and inform a population of over one billion. In this crowded, colourful world, innovation is often born of necessity and scant resources, and
can result in the very clever or the completely ridiculous. The most exciting graphic work has been singled out by the keen eye of Keith Lovegrove on his journey through
India. He lovingly documents a wide range of vernacular graphics and commercial art from the personalized bodywork of vehicles through to advertising hoardings; from political
posters to lavish Bollywood publicity. The result is a celebration of the huge variety of graphic work that Lovegrove found in this densely populated landscape
and a reflection of
the religious, political and cultural diversity along his route.
