As the premiere award honouring unsung heroes of Bengaluru, the Namma Bengaluru Awards has recognized over 70 remarkable individuals for their selfless work for a better city. However, there was great potential for their stories to spread and have the Awards stand for spreading that much needed inspiration. This is why we assisted NBA in making a transition from being an Award focused on an event to an Award focused on spreading inspiration.
To do this we began by creating photo-stories around the nominees of the 2015 edition of the NBA specifically for their Facebook page. We drew on in-house portrait photography skills to capture a moment in our nominees’ lives that best told their story. If you’re in the need for a shot of inspiration, just browse through a few of these remarkable life stories.
