Had a chance to cover the band Para Vayu, when they were performing live at Kyra theater, Bangalore. The music was awesome and the lights were electrifying. Shooting in low light and on stage is perhaps one of the most difficult forms of photography. Even the slightest of movements by the musicians are recorded on camera.
Here are some images from the shoot.

Overall a very satisfying shoot !

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.

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. …

Of late I have been noticing a change in the way I approach photography. More often than not, I start to ask a lot of questions. These questions revolve around doing photography only when required for a cause. Any project that I undertake needs to be for a social cause. As a result of this my interests have been inclining more towards the social documentary form of photography. It’s not that I was not doing it in the past, its just that I feel more strongly about it.

This could be …

From time to time, I will be updating this space with my travel logs. I have been traveling across India and other parts of the world and met some really amazing people, shared their experiences and smiled with them.
I have lied in the arms of mother nature and spent time being mesmerized in her beauty for hours.
I have climbed a glacier, trekked in different mountain ranges, jumped from a plane, met the tribes, touched the shores of various waters, experienced different religions from the long list of interesting thing!

I have been conducting Light Painting Workshops at different colleges.
The last one was held at NIT Trichy.
And the workshop at the Pragyan 2009 festival was a great success.
We had three sessions of four hours each and over 150 students. The feedback was good and mostly people wanted more time with the practical.
Watch this space for announcement for other workshops.
