Mumbai, Jan 13 (IANS) Actress Deepika Padukone feels photographers are hardworking artistes who risk their lives for a perfect shot."I won't say much but I will say we all have witnessed how hard you work every day. Sometimes I wonder why you guys work so hard. I mean -- food, water or other utilities are one thing -- but to put your life at risk every day makes me wonder. But after coming here I realise why.
