PAINTINGS WITH LENSES, LIGHTS & WORDS!


In Frame: My basic artistic arsenal for next few months that will help me mesmerize the WORLD's depth & focus and support my journey of PAINTINGS WITH LENSES, LIGHTS & WORDS

A genius who goes by the name of Ansel Adams once said "Cameras don't take pictures, photographers do. The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!" True to its core, cameras are just like any other artist's tool, simply supporting the artistic acumen while making it convenient and easy to capture that WOW magical moment. We should always remember photography is an art of capturing IMAGINATION with light and lenses. This is where the term IMAGE is derived from afterall! The art of photography has little to do with the things you see & everything to do with the way you see them. Don't fool yourself by thinking a Nikon or Canon will help you bridge the artistic vacuum of composing that perfect image. When you see the works of Picasso or Van Gogh, you never appreciate the canvas, the brush or the oil paint used; it's always about the expression. It is neither the range of f/stop nor the sensor, but your wild imagination that makes u a genius in the world of photography!

So here is my beginning of a dedicated journey to find the extraordinary in ordinary circumstances. I wish to use this platform to exhibit my creation to the world by capturing that perfect moment, projecting that creative spike and clicking that unique perspective. I'm set to devote my next few months to street and soul photography of India. Lot of exciting things are lined up with my backpack trip, a major share of which will be contributed to this website and blog. Stay Tuned!

Let thr be light people!
