SOUP

Unfiltered, models and their everyday lives

Soup caught up with six popular models in their personal spaces, to show a glimpse of their lives behind the glamorous facade projected by media and fashion. Photographer Vijit Gupta and I followed these women over a period of four months to document them as they went about their regular days, shopping for vegetables, meeting brokers or sometimes, doing nothing at all. The project is an attempt to capture an honest idea of beauty without the trappings of glamour, photoshop and objectification.
