Some Photography
|
Whereas I still do accept interesting photography assignments every now and again,..
I was pretty much a full-time photographer (and writer) through the 1980s, when I was sort of specialized in adventure travel work, while at the same time also doing other editorial assignments for newspapers and magazines, as well as film-stills, pack-shots for advertising, and even a few photo-series that were actually incorporated into the final footage of a couple of eminent documentary films commissioned for some editions of the international 'Festival of India'. I also wrote a weekly 'How to' column on photography tricks and techniques for awhile, for what was possibly the first full-colour Sunday-supplement of any newspaper in Delhi (National Herald), and, additionally served several American photography-tour groups as workshop-leader. After losing my photo archives 1989, I explored 'art photography' for awhile. And, when a rash of photo-exhibitions in Delhi followed the incredibly well-received exhibition of photographs that I showed from this together with works by Hemen Sanghvi and Ravi Pasricha, at the Shridharani Gallery in 1991, under the title 'Milestones', Indi'a's largest circulation newspaper, Times of India, invited me to write reviews and critiques for the main paper for almost 2 years. However, my archive of photographs from the time is entirely lost to me,.. other than for the pictures captioned in the gallery above as being 'crude slide-copies', which somehow survived along with some others in a couple of plastic slide-holder sleeves. Almost all of the other images in this gallery were shot much more recently with cellphone cameras, ranged from a cheap Samsung Duos feature-phone, through an Asus Zenphone 2, and an iPhone SE. |
