Chance Encounters 2

So France

Three is Company

The first time i shot a couple (as in two people) was by accident. A friend wanted some pictures, and his girlfriend just wanted to accompany him. The friend, like almost all men, was so conscious, he wanted to check each frame, how he was looking and all that. His friend got bored of it, and said fuck it, i am going to jump in and make this interesting. and what a blast it was. 

I have always maintained that shooting women is more fun and you can get more creative with them, cos k...

Post Processing & Editing

I am a self learnt photographer, and similarly a self learnt editor as well. I take keen interest in everything i do, no half measures, be it driving, be it photographing be it editing. I love to master it all. 

But also realised that my real joy was shooting and not editing, since the start. However, when you are starting off, you need to oblige your collaborators with edits that they want. However, now with a sound body or work, also the fact that I can shoot my shot, they alread...

My First Boudoir/ Nudes: 2018

My first attempt at some boudoir / nudes, was in the summer of 2018. I always knew my photographs would be black and white, and my frames random.

My First Boudoir/ Nudes: 2018

These were the very first Nudes / Boudoir Photographs that made some sense to me. I had shot once before and the photographs were absolute garbage. Things take time to take shape, all you have to do is find someone who is willing to create with you. It is much easier if you are a gentleman and the trust shows through.

Flâneur Me

All artists develop a sense of style, over a period of time. It is mostly not something intentional, but a reflection of all their exposures, experiences in real life. For example photographers, will tend to create similar to people they followed or assisted or the way they look at things around them 

Apart from the above, they also need to develop some specific trade specialised traits. For example a Fashion Photographer must have an eye for perfect light, perfect clothes, perfect...

Orange is the New Black

Orange is the New Black

I also love styling my shoots. I invest in clothes, lingerie and other things that I feel will make the pictures interesting. I ve been a shopoholic, but since past couple of years my shopping is also related to my shoots. usually before a shoot i want to pick up some pieces of interest, based on the muse i am shooting. sometimes i take them along too. 

this is one such overcoat in rust, that i really loved.

ps: i do not reuse lingerie and other items touched intimately by th...

Revival

So, a few things happened in the past few months. I don't know why, one fine day, i just took down all my previous posts on Patreon. Also subsequently, I almost did not post anything for 2-3 months. 

I was working on  my website, and i thought i would also take my patrons there. But, it turns out that my patrons here stuck with me, in the true spirit of this being a purely support your artist initiative, and not pay for content.

So, I have decided to turn up the posts he...

if there was a wish : public post

we are living in a world that is making it easier to find and create with like minded people. we all realise that we have missed out on a lot to unreal, untrue, selfish societal expectations,,, but still some remain.... i truly wish we can share more openly, but yes till then ...

if there was one wish

it would be the ability to post my work in totality with face. i just wish we come to a point where we all feel safe to do so. but till then we must seek ways to share what we create and still keep it atleast up there....

Light on the other side

We cut up a small slit on a bodysuit to make it a bit more interesting, will share more the others too

A peek into what my muse and i shot over a late evening and early next morning … hang on tight :)

Portraits of a Self Portrait Artist

Portrait of a Self Portrait Artist

we saw some pictures of how a self portrait looks and also how a virtual shoot looks, how about some large images of the Artist herself, while creating them.

Bad Habits, Die Hard

So during this lockdown, most creatives attempted virtual shoots. I did that too. But now that things have opened up, shooting face to face is possible.

But like all bad habits, the virtual shooting mindset, will take a bit to overcome, and so will the social distance habits. Here are some pictures i took, of my muse almost like a virtual shoot, even though we were in the same room ;)

I made these when she was shooting herself for some of her self-portrait collection, in between o...

The Troublemakers

Oh they exist in all places, however, given the sensitive nature of this genre of photography, matters need to be handled with a mixture of soft gloves and firm resolve. Fortunately for me, such people have been far and few. However, they are times when collaborators want to create freely cos they like what is being created, get possession of all the creations, and then suddenly want to control your feed as well. It usually starts with a gentle i don't like this picture or edit. And how it go...
