Katrina Kaif

This again is a first -- I have never used a horse-riding image in the nine calendars I have done. When you think of a horse riding shot, you always think of a man in a cowboy hat.
I wanted to do it differently, so I thought of having Katrina ride a white horse, wearing a white dress, to give a very feminine touch to what is essentially a masculine image.
Katrina is extremely professional. No actress likes to shoot on a horse while wearing a dress, but she agreed without any hesitation. Plus, she was very patient -- it took me hours to get this shot right, because the horse had to get used to the camera flash, but she sat on the horse for hours without any complaints.
