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!

STREET PROJECT – 2

This series is from one of the most famous markets in Hyderabad, The MONDA MARKET. It has this unique character of colors, lights and people. Someday, I would love to shoot a movie in these streets.

STREET PROJECT – 1

As most of you know by now that I tend to speak a lot more with my photographs than words, maybe because I am good at taking pictures than writing, I would like to show you one of the facets of photography I love the most, the streets.

Whenever I go out onto the streets along with my camera, there is a sense of mystery. You won’t know what you’ll come back with, sometimes I don’t even come back with any interesting photos. But when I do, my eyes glow, and I wouldn’t stop smiling and grinning while I edit my photos.

I will be posting more of my street photos from now on labelled as projects which may pertain to a certain theme, or a place or a person, but these will be all about the streets.

The first post is about the famous monument of Hyderabad, Charminar. Since it’s ramzan season now, I only feel right that my first post is about one of the most happening places in Hyderabad.
