Just behind the Graveyard of Ships, is the Mina Plant Market or as some would call the “Iranian Market” where you can buy any kind of plant ranging from a small basil plant to a big mango tree. So we decided to drive around to see if they would let us shoot in any of the shops. It was a Saturday evening and almost all shops were really crowded with customers but to our luck we spotted a shop towards to the end of the lane that wasn’t busy. Skeptical if they would allow us, I went up to the shop keeper and asked if it was ok take a few shots in his shop and to my surprise he replied in Hindi, “Of course, why not. Go ahead”.
It was almost sun down and so I had to use the flash to get enough light to shoot Anastasia. The shop keeper was so interested in what was going on that he offered to hold my off camera flash at different positions I had asked him to.
It was dark by the time we left Mina and I wanted to try shooting at this one last spot on the Corniche that had become famous lately, before calling it a day.
