I don't consider myself a documentary photographer. I occasionally take pictures, that if were part of a much larger and more precise body of work, could be considered documentary in nature. But the reality is there's only one project that has been dear to me in the past decade and I only photograph that part of Kolkata real estate too infrequently.

Had a fantastic meet n' walk with Gopal @mumbaipaused yesterday. I don't think either one of us was planning on a little jaunt along the shores of Versova Beach in the heat and not-so-great light but that's where the photography gods lead us during high tide.

A sneak peek at a work in progress. This will eventually be part of a new limited edition series on canvas. I'll be exploring images sourced from another location in Mumbai. I don't know what size I'll be producing yet, but I'll limit each image to 2 or 3 prints for collectors.

The line between being a photographer and being an artist is a blurry one. Many photographers struggle with the question of whether or not their work is considered art, and what steps they can take to make the transition from photographer to artist. In this article, we will explore this distinction and provide some tips on how to make the shift from photographer to artist.

Throughout the history of photography, the square or 1:1 ratio has been a traditional format, particularly for medium format cameras such as Hasselblad, Mamiya, and Rolleiflex. The aspect ratio of 1:1 provides a unique canvas for photographers to explore, offering a different perspective from the more commonly used 3:2 ratio. It’s also more painterly, in my opinion, more “artsy”.

I wanted to share with you all today about how shooting for the crop has become an essential part of my street photography. Sometimes, certain scenes jump out at me, and I know the camera frame isn't going to be perfect. That's where cropping comes in.

Recently, I took a shot of a building with a motorcycle embedded in the upper floor. To capture the full essence of the scene, I needed a vertical shot at 24mm. Even with this, I had to crop in and break the ratio because the sign with the motorcycle to the left was pictured the same, and there was open space to the left of the building.

I recently asked Chat GPT to interview me about my transition to an artists. Yes. You can set ChatGPT up to do this! You just have to spell out the parameters and it does all the rest. I asked ChatGPT to ask a question and wait for my reply before proceeding so that it would be like a real interview in real time. This marks the first time I’ve been interviewed by artificial intelligence. It was an interesting experience and now I think ChatGPT has talked its way into helping me plan my next exhibition!

I always strive to have my camera with me at all times. But there are days when I'm running errands, meeting friends, or just going about my day where carrying a camera can be cumbersome. That's where my phone camera comes in as my trusty backup camera.
