After spending one year taking taxi rides and observing its drivers and passengers in Mumbai, India, photographer Dougie Wallace managed to capture the unique taxi culture in the country in his photo series, ‘Road Wallah’.
Wallace’s project also documented the drivers behind the city’s old and dying fleet of Premier Padmini taxis—Wallace called them ‘Bollywood cabs’—which were first introduced on the roads in the 1960s.
By using three flash guns, Wallace managed to feature the taxi drivers and passengers in a vibrant, Bollywood-like cinematic style as he took photos from various angles.
Check out Wallace’s photos below.
