I have always loved to shoot in the markets here in Bangalore. Each of the markets have a particular characteristic of its own and I have loved to shoot in the Madiwala Market and the K R Market the most. The beauty about the K R Market is that there is a lot of action happening. There is a lot of things going on, which in turn implies that there are a lot of photo-opportunities.
For this shoot, I shot mostly with my Nikon D300 and 50mm Lens. I like to …

Once in a while, I tend to cut connection with all and just go in the find of peace.
Recently I had gone to the Sinhagadh fort in Pune to find this moment. We reached there early in the morning, well before daybreak and watched nature unfold its beautiful colors in front of us. It was truly a moment of peace which I enjoyed every moment.
Sinhagad or Sinhgad (The Lion’s Fort), is a fortress located roughly 30 kilometres southwest of the city of Pune, India. It is situated on …

One of the things that has always interested me is the street lights and the color of the street in the night when these lights are on. I have always wanted to do a series where I capture the essence of these lights. I am presently working on a project that tries to capture this essence. The project involves traveling across the city (Bangalore) in the night and exploring the other lifestyle that exists in the nights. So far I have explored the empty streets.
The streets with dogs and walking …

It’s a wonderful feeling when you try out something new and it turns out to be good and people love doing it too. My workshops have been a great source of motivation for me, as it has allowed me to get a first hand experience of this feeling.
I have always wanted to try out some new lights in my Light Painting workshops, that could allow one to play with the patterns formation. One fine day in the supermarket I spotted these Made in China multiple LED lights that were rechargable. …

I love to conduct workshops and have been fortunate to conduct that across the country at different colleges. Over the past few months, I have roamed across India. From Karnataka to Kerela to Tamil Nadu to Goa and now onto Gujarat. I love to travel and am glad that I get to do this for the thing I am most passionate about.
The hit so far has been the ‘Light Painting Workshop’ and I am really glad that the participants like it. Their feedback after the workshops has been very positive …

I have always been excited about visiting a college where my friends studied. So far all the colleges I have conducted my workshops, have been places where a person I know, (mostly from my friends) have studied. NIT Surathkal was no different. I was pretty excited about this one.
After taking the Volvo to Surathkal, I landed one early morning in front of the gates of the college. The college campus is divided into two parts by the National Highway # 17. On one side is the main building, the auditoriums, …

Royal Enfield was the brand of the Enfield Cycle Company, a British engineering company. Notable for producing motorcycles, it also produced bicycles, lawnmowers, stationary engines, and even rifle parts for the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield Lock. This legacy of weapons manufacture is reflected in the logo, a cannon, and their motto “Made like a gun, goes like a bullet”. It also enabled the use of the brand name Royal Enfield from 1890. In 1955 Enfield of India started assembling Bullet motorcycles under licence from UK components, and by …

New York has to be one of the most interesting cities that I have visited so far. It has a character in itself. I had heard a lot about the city and had been wanting to visit it since a long time. In the summer of 2008, I had a chance to visit it during the Independence Day weekend.
The view from atop the Empire State Building is breathtaking. With cars the size of ants, and the concrete jungle below, you begin to get a sense of flying. The Hudson river …

Every day I go out to shoot, I am amazed by the things that I see. It is in these things that I see a message being conveyed to me. I let my photographs convey those messages that people would otherwise not notice. The messages are sometimes philosophical, sometimes spiritual, and some times just cryptic, that it takes you time to understand. I am often mesmerized by the graphics on the trucks and lorries here in India. They are inspirational, have a hidden message and is totally worth the extra …

I do not know how the village got it’s name. I recently visited this village. I visited ‘my’ ancestral village. Smelt the earth on which I played, roamed around the pillars on which I hopped, plucked leaves from the garden, and realized what I have missed all these years. Not that I have not done in the past, but this time it was with a different mindset, expectations and desire.
I had left my village some 24 years ago for education. I was surprised to see that not many things had …
