Mark Bennington, the man who 'humanises' the Indian actor

From 2010 to 2015, he was on a quest to photograph actors of Hindi television and cinema

One thing Bollywood stars unfailingly want to know when asked to participate in anything is: who else is going to be in it? This is perhaps why a few big names are absent in photographer Mark Bennington’s ambitious project to “humanise” the Indian actor through images. He planned to document them going about their daily lives, and wanted to cover superstars, strugglers, and everyone in between.
 
Over a period of five years from 2010 to 2015, the New York man was on a quest to photograph actors of Hindi television and cinema, both from the mainstream and parallel industries.
