At IndiGo, we believe that photography is a powerful tool that can inspire, educate, and connect people from all walks of life. Through this contest, we hope to showcase the unique perspectives of photographers from all over India and celebrate the unfiltered beauty of the country.

This campaign will help in showcasing the diversity and depth of India as a destination and attract more domestic and international tourism to the country.”

Our iconic pictures and ground-breaking imagery have been a cornerstone to the National Geographic legacy for over 135 years. #nofilter by IndiGo is a fantastic platform for talented photographers where we will celebrate their visual storytelling and give them an incredible opportunity to join and be a part of this renowned community. We are excited to have both Imtiaz Ali and Raghu Rai, two master storytellers who understand the power of a camera and the narrative behind the image, encouraging enthusiasts to share their own story through their illustrious captures,” said Devika Prabhu, business head, National Geographic.

Imtiaz Ali on the occasion said, “As a filmmaker, I understand that a single capture has the art of evoking of so many emotions – often telling a story that sometimes even words cannot express. There are a lot of photographers, who have the passion and the talent to capture the most beautiful imagery but often don’t have the platform to showcase their skill. And I am especially proud to be a part of this association since #nofilter by IndiGo is an excellent opportunity for all these artistic individuals to come forward and be a part of this initiative along with getting recognition through two incredible brands – IndiGo and National Geographic,” added Imtiaz Ali.
