Architecture

 

 

This is one of my pictures from the series “Cross” where I’ve shot the cross in different setups....

In this picture from Gloria church, Mumbai, I wanted to add the barbed wire as an element in the foreground and make it a metaphoric shot. While I was composing this frame I was thinking how much pain Christ must have gone through... the barbed wire I felt represented his pain. But then again opt...imistically, I also felt that he had risen above the pain...

This weekend we explore architecture while adding some thoughts and meaning into the pictures, rather than just clicking. Through this workshop expand your vision and mind, as we help you to 'see' beyond the obvious.

Architecture

 

 

I was shooting the minar at Daulatabad fort, Aurangabad.

While composing this frame I observed the very contrasting dark tones of the door from inside and the light outside. I felt the Minar visible at a distance represented hope and ambition to reach the top. While the door with its strong textures represented tough times, limiting beliefs to me.

I composed the frame such that the spikes on ...the door touched the Minar using a forced perspective. I wanted to convey that sometimes even if the going gets tough if one has the right perspective - you can still reach the top and touch your ambition. So compose your thoughts and mark your goals, your changed perspective will pave the way forward.
 

Fashion

I was going through my pictures and found this interesting Fashion shoot. I had a fantastic experience shooting for the fashion designing students of Le'mark Institute of Arts. Out of 6 groups we won the best photography award!

Bird Photography

As part of my Vraj bhoomi bird photography project, on the last day, luckily I saw these beautiful White famingos.

We had to hire a boat to go close to shoot them in various moods. We found a flock of 60 to 100 White flamingoes on the banks of Yamuna river in Gokul.

This endearing shot is one of my favorites! 

Architecture

On my photo tour to Aurangabad, I was shooting the monument “Bibi ka makbara”.

While I was going around the structure I saw this interesting jaali, was intrigued by how it was made, its intricate & delicate designs. This broken one caught my attention as I could see another structure from the view. This represented to me a mental breakthrough from limitations. The view of another structure through the opening seemed to represent hope and opportunities still ahead.

Creative shots

 

 

This is picture is shot at Crawford market, Mumbai.

 

I was shooting a bulb and coincidently saw this fruit vendor on the opposite side. I felt it would make an interesting frame to make the bulb an element and shoot the vendor through the ...bulb. I have clicked a series of these pictures through the bulb while the fruit vendor was going about his daily routine.

I feel Street photography is not just about taking photos of environmental portraits but using elements interestingly, to make a captivating frame.

Architecture

This picture was shot at Gloria Church, Mumbai.

As I started walking inside the premises, I saw some students play basket ball. I suddenly looked up at the bask...et ball net and could see the church’s cross through it. I felt this would be an interesting way to capture the church using the basket ball net as an element in the picture.  

The instant feel I got while looking at this picture was-The goal is to reach God!
