Mohsin Khawar’s Evolutionary Photos Of Transformed Charlie Chaplin
What if Charlie Chaplin came to South Asia and immersed himself in its surroundings and ambiance?
Actor Mohsin Abbas Haider transforms into a perfectly convincing Charlie Chaplin for this creative shoot by Mohsin Khawar Photography, based on the famous poster of Charlie and the kid from Charlie’s 1921 film ‘The Kid’. Redone in a magical way which highlights the unique culture and architecture of the city, the photoshoot shows Charlie and the kid roaming the streets of Old Lahore/ the Walled City in Pakistan, with a playful interaction between the two characters.
Charlie, seen in his signature trademark clothing in certain shots and drinking a yogurt-based drink called lassi (very representative of local Lahori food culture) is wearing a floral/ colorful vest in other shots, to depict the vibrant culture of Lahore. Dramatic lighting in the photoshoot successfully shows intensity created by the use of light and shade.
