Women behind the lens: ‘The colour, the light, the happy goat – the scene looked like a painting’
In rural India many people treat animals as part of the family. In a break from fashion photography, Naveli Choyal wanted to capture this idea of coexistence
I have this funny dog called Imli (tamarind in Hindi). She is beautiful and acts like a goat, with a free-spirited, wild nature. She wants to eat grass, and even looks a bit like a goat. She holds a very important place in my life. Every time I photograph an animal, I think of her.
I took this picture of the happy goat on a work trip in Rajasthan. I’d been watching it jump around, and all I could think of was my sweet little dog and how she also behaves in an unpredictable way. I’m drawn towards animals; I like their company and spending time with them.
