PROJECT OVERLOAD

A few months ago, I shot some photographs based on the theme “Overload” as part of the Indian Photography Festival, Hyderabad. Some of these images were printed and exhibited as a part of the festival in Chikkadpally on the streets for the public to view.

This project was quite challenging as it involved a lot of moving objects, and I had to be on my feet to capture these frames. I shot some of these images on a moving bike, while my friend was driving. I shot these images in areas; Srinagar Colony, Krishna Nagar, Tolichowki, Mehdipatnam, Erragadda, Sanath Nagar, Kukatpally and a few other areas I particularly don’t remember.

Hope you like these images!

The Gentle Giant – Akram Ul Haq

One day, I stumbled  upon Art Kane’s (Arthur Kanofsky) work and I was surprised that one could even think of shooting musicians like he did! I didn’t come across any pictures where the musicians didn’t have their instruments with them. It was definitely a unique way to think.

A few weeks later, one of those days where I was feeling restless, I decided that I should translate Akram’s music into photos. I wanted to keep it as genuine as possible, so we shot all the photos in and outside his house where he spends most of his time practicing, and we shot it between 12 and 2 AM.

Akram is a new age western classical guitarist from Hyderabad, India. His compositions consist of an eclectic blend of modern and contemporary classical styles, cool licks and percussive techniques.
