Discovery
DISCOVERY will be available for sale at the March 18 launch at Drifters Cafe & Bar in Bandra. Join me there at 12 pm for fantastic beer (I dig their IPA) and food. And support my launch by taking home a limited edition print!
Like each print in this collection, this was created using a camera technique called ICM, Intentional Camera Movement. Essentially, I use a slow shutter speed and shake the camera slightly to produce what will hopefully be something like an abstract impressionist image. When I'm lucky, I fall in love with the results, especially when dashes and lines look more painterly than something produced in the digital space. 85-90 % of the effects are created in-camera while the rest is creative changes to make the images resonate with me. I have a great printer who produces my limited editions, and I always love to visit him when it comes time to sign and ship a print to another part of the world.
If you've been following my work over the past years, you'll probably have noticed my shift from traditional street photography to fine art photography. The culmination of nearly eight years of street shooting in India has transformed my life into one of an artist, a path I never thought I'd be able to take in the world of visual arts.
If you're in Mumbai and especially if I haven't met you yet, please join me on March 18th for a pint. It may be a little early, but as the saying goes, it's always 5 O'clock somewhere. And if you can't attend, please consider sharing my work and this event. Getting the word out is one of the biggest challenges any artist faces.
Sign up for my newsletter for pre-ordering on March 14 - 18. A 20% discount is available as well for those who attend the launch.
