MTV Unmasked
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. Posted via email from Aviraj Saluja’s Photo...

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...

Concert Photography at Bombay Gym
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. Posted via email from Aviraj Saluja’s Photo Blog | Comment »

My Best Friend's Wedding
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...

On Community
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...

The other night with The Other People
See the full gallery on posterousThis past weekend my friends dragged me to The Blue Frog, an amazing venue for great live music - one of very few in Mumbai. I’ve never been big on live music, but that’s all changed now. I am SO thankful that my friends pulled me in. The Other People - a Rock ‘n Roll / Retro band - were fantastic. Great sound, amazing energy....

Jack-In-The-Box of All Trades
This is my friend Maneesh. Maneesh inspires me. He has always been one step ahead of me in action and four steps ahead in thought. Maneesh believes that the best way to figure out if an idea will work is by doing it. Maneesh is a doer.You can see it in his eyes. Maneesh is a jack of many trades. He’s the kind of guy that ends up becoming a master of all. But Maneesh hates being...

Confused, Yet Composed
This is my friend Nidhi. Nidhi Thakkar. She is in a vulnerable place in her life today. On the cusp of freedom and success, yet stuck in a nadir of uncertainty. Difficult decisions lie ahead, but Nidhi is full of hope. Nidhi gets things done. Look at Nidhi and you won’t see the tears she has shed in the year past. She reflects sunshine on the world through her dainty smile. Nidhi is...

Tugging away at the strings of the heart
This is my friend Arjun. Arjun Nair. He’s an aspiring musician just like I’m and aspiring photographer. Except that he’s immensely better at his art than I am at mine. He sings for a band called Rang (Hindi for Colour). I only just discovered how good a musician this guy is. I’ve been intrigued by the guitar for many years now. I love the sound of it. I love what...

The most beautiful suicide
On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate...
