Only a select few in the 56 + ‘Kingfisher Countries’ across the world will receive a copy of this much sought-after calendar directly from the desk of the chairman of the UB Group, Dr. Vijay Mallya.
“I briefed Atul to work in a space that would create images that were sensual yet understated. The accent was on simplicity and working with natural elements. With Kingfisher Airlines going global the time was right to source some of the finest modeling talent worldwide for 2009,” – Dr. Vijay Mallya.
Atul adds: “Given Dr. Mallya’s brief, the Six Senses Hideaways were the perfect locations for the 2009 edition given their amazingly simple yet luxurious properties. It is gratifying to find that some of the world’s most famous brands now partner with us every year as a matter of routine. That in itself is proof of the international recognition and respect that the calendar now commands. The images this year have been photographed for a graphic layout that has 2 images per page. Twice the Good Times!”
The globally acclaimed, multi-award winning, limited edition, Kingfisher Calendar 2009 is shot by ace photographer Atul Kasbekar bringing 12 months of sheer glitz and glamour.
