The Bombay Flying Club is a collaboration between two Danish photojournalists, Poul Madsen and Henrik Kastenskov. Both are educated from the Danish School of Journalism. In 2005 they did their first web documentary about a spate of suicedes in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since then they have spent countless hours trying to learn advanced Flash Actionscripting while exploring the possibilities of turning still photography towards a more film documentary oriented style. Today they are both working as full time freelance photographers and multimedia producers. Their next multimedia project is a story about untouchables in India who are still affected by the 2004 tsunami.
