Road Wallah by Dougie Wallace
Premier Padmini taxis, first introduced to the streets of Mumbai in the 1960s, have now all but disappeared following the introduction of laws to reduce pollution in the city. Locally known as 'Kaali-Peeli', there were once more than 60,000 of these iconic black and yellow cabs struggling through the chaos of Mumbai's streets. Over a four year period Dougie Wallace documented these elaborate Bollywood disco bars on wheels. The crowded streets of Mumbai and the assortment of passengers provide a dynamic and intense backdrop, as do the cabs themselves.Wallace has authored two successful novels since 2014, Stags, Hens & Bunnies (Dewi Lewis) and Stags, Hens & Bunnies (Dewi Lewis). These efforts have resulted in notable exhibitions in Europe, the United States, and India, where he was recently featured in a British Council show in Delhi. He continues to receive a lot of press and media attention for his work, and his images appear in a lot of major worldwide journals.
