The aura of old Ahmedabad has always been the same and its legacy is being carried forward by the families living there. I spent a day with Ahmed Khan, Gulam Rasool Khan and Mustafi Khan who owns a salon which was started by their father in 1939. I tried to document their day at work.
This series was shot on Illford PAN 100 film with a Cosina C1s camera. It was developed and enlarged in darkroom as a part of the assignment.
