Sheena Sippy is a Bombay-based portrait and food photographer, designer, and creative consultant. Her love of images comes from her family, which has been making cinema in Bollywood for three generations. She admits to being completely addicted to creating and consuming coffee table books. Sheena’s first book on Bollywood, Lights Camera Masala (India Book House), won the World Gold Award for Book Design at the New York Festivals in July 2007. She was the visual consultant and curator for Bollywood Posters (India Book House, 2008).

Sheena had her first solo exhibition, Under the Influence of Marilyn and Other Portraits of Childhood, at the Chemould Art Gallery in Bombay in September 2002. In March 2003 she had a mixed media exhibition, Mera Star, displaying portraits of Indian film stars. For this she collaborated with street children to raise funds for an NGO, Aangan Trust.
