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!

An evening at Qutub Shahi Tombs

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are located in the Ibrahim Bagh (garden precinct), close to the famous Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India. They contain the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single storey while the larger ones are two storied. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.

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.

Two sides.

Aaj khane main kya hain?

Discussions.

What an amazing alley.

This was fun. Everyone paused for me to take a photo.

Melons, and melons.

What a story this is.

Drama.

He specifically called me and asked for a photo. Quite a photogenic face.

Iska photo lelo bhai.

Again, beautiful alleys.

Timing, I guess.

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.

The charminar, the hyderabadi auto, and the people.

Look whom I spotted.

Pineapples, watermelons and dates.

Temple right under Charminar.

Among all the footwear.

He asked for a picture.

Zooming on the bike.

Ended my walk with haleem and biryani at Shadab.
