Earlier this year, I shot a series of portraits for a web series produced for MTV India called Unmasked. The show is essentially a series of webisodes where four unnamed individuals speak openly about subjects that are otherwise considered difficult to debate publicly. 

Check out Unmasked on MTV India’s website.

This is my friend Ayush. Ayush and I worked at the same company for over a year and a quarter. Ayush and I both left that company - a week apart - to pursue our passions.

Ayush is an artist. And amazing artist. He’s trying to bring his art to larger audiences by putting it on all kinds of products under the brand name Kingdom of Calm. This post is full of links because I’m just a big, big fan of his work. Heck, I’m even going to shoot all his products and even a promotional campaign to do my bit to get him started off.

This post, however, is more about the man himself. It’s fascinating to me how his brain works. His life, as I see it, is an incomprehensible paradox of chaos and calm. So is his art. In an effort to capture the true personality of the guy and his world, I decided to shoot him in his natural environment, doing what he does. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how someone can write science fiction to accompany his art.

Within the first month of my freelancing career, I got an opportunity to shoot a magazine cover. Digital Studio is a b2b magazine for the film and broadcasting industry published by the ITP Publishing Group. Here’s a shot of the cover. I’ll be adding the tearsheets from the cover story once I receive them from the publishers.

Thanks are in order, especially to Khushnam Polad and Conrad Egbert from ITP for setting me up with this assignment. Cheers, guys!

Shooting The Other People once again, first time at a venue other than the Blue Frog. Extremely harsh lights that looked quite ridiculous at the venue turned out to be great for my lens. This is definitely one of my favourite shoots for this lovely band. Great guys.

A couple of weeks ago my closest friend got married to his college sweetheart. Here’s a sneak-peek of what I shot during the wedding. This is one of my favourite pictures from the entire weekend. I love it so much, I had it printed on a 12”x18” canvas and gifted it to the couple (without the watermark, of course)  :)

It seems the aspect ratio is getting messed up due to the picture resizing. Please click on the picture to see it correct.

I will be uploading more pictures as soon as I’m done working on them. Wait for it.

I shot The Other People at Blue Frog again last weekend - this time as official :) I had a blast shooting this gig and I’m already looking forward to the one in December! 

Anyway - less words, more photos!

Everyone has a community. You may or may not recognize it, but it exists. Your community is extremely powerful. If you use it right, your community can make you. Your community will celebrate you if you celebrate it. Your community will evangelize you if you evangelize it. Don’t expect something for nothing. Your community is your secret weapon in the face of distress, self-doubt. Your community is your euphoria.
