About

About Me:

I am a photographer based out of India. My passion lies in capturing images of people I’m intrigued by—their faces, the stories behind them, their lifestyles, cultures, and traditions. I like endlessly roaming around the streets, wherever I go, and spend time learning and understanding my subjects. Also, as is apparent from my blog, I do have a soft corner for portraits and images in black and white! If you would like to work with me for assignments and commissioned works, get in touch with me here.

About This Photoblog:

On August 1, 2008 I started this photoblog to showcase the images of people that I shoot  and creating images for this photoblog has always been an exciting and fulfilling challenge. As a mark of my fondness for black and white, this site uses only different shades of grey for all its elements.

    1. I think you can get the basics of composition and exposure from youtube or something. After that keep clicking and find out what you would love to shoot. Then challenge yourself with photographing that. You can even start a project to photograph something particular. That will help you a lot.

  26. My name is Oliver and I am a french street artist based in Montpellier (France). I make stencils out of pictures. This is my full time work. I’m working on old people’s wisdom in the eyes right now and I found a picture you took of an old man with dread locks. I found it on pinterest but nowhere else . I wanted to ask you if you would allow me to use this picture to make a handcut stencil out of it. Then I paint it in the street before painting it on canvas as a unique painted piece for my exhibition. I make my stencils out of paper and cut them with a scalpel. A pretty much 100 hours’ work.
    You can see my work on the Internet: https://www.facebook.com/oseartwork/ or on Instagram: oseartwork

    Here is the link of the picture: https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/356980707957808537/

    I alreaday worked with several professionnal photographers who trusted me such as Lee Jeffries, Sergey Ponomarev, or Kyriakos Kaziras and Laurent Gudin for example.

    Your name will always be mentionned with the stencil.

    I hope you will have time to see my work and to answer me so I can start working on it.
    Thank for reading me.
