An expert in photography said that, good photographs are results of accidents i.e. u click a thousand pics and one among those 1000 will be a good pic... it does not depend on light, exposure, color and all that technical values... it depends on the final outcome of that one click...


For e.g. I took this photograph in the small cottages that were located behind my college hostel... these few kids used to play throughout the day and sometimes I used to go and meet them to play with them... I took this photo when they were studying... what I realised after almost 10 years of my life with my camera, that a photographer needs to have a very good rapport with the person who is being shot... be it a model or any other person... to take out the natural expression, they need to shed off their consciousness of the camera...make them comfortable enough to neglect the existence of the camera... only after that u'll get the best shots... this pic is quite close to my heart; firstly because its shows the innocent faces and real expressions of the children while they are studying and secondly, the faces go from sharpness to blur showing that the future will be blurred if there is no education...

unconventionally conventional

This post is special.... but why ?
because this post encapsulates our tour to Baripada - a self-sustained village in Maharastra, located three hours from Nasik... so, what was I doing at Baripada? shooting for our documentary film - SaNrAkShAn... Sanrakshan talks about the village Baripada and the person who made it... Sarpanch Chaitram Pawar....
We travelled 8 hours in a bus, 45 minutes on a loaded truck and walked for about 1 hour 25 minutes to be where we wanted to shoot our film... the beauty of the place cannot be construed through words... each and every thing of the place has got its own charm... the wonderful wells, the farming fields, the foxy flowers, the bewitching bees - everything is so pure, so pulchritudinous...the more you see, the more you get captivated and you tend to capture each moment, through your eyes or then through the camera lens...
some of the photographs I am sharing are those which are my favourites...
All of these photographs has subjects which are not unknown to us... but each of them have something to say, each picture phonates a thousand words...
