Parallax Collection

Parallax/ˈparəlaks/ (noun) – the effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions

The theme, “Five Lenses, One World,” is the essence of the show: a single world seen through the point of view of five of us (frineds and photographers). We hope to not just share our perspectives, but also to spread some goodness – 30% of all proceeds from all print sales of my prints will go to AXF Foundation

Venue: Camera Meusio, Gurgaon.

Note on My Collection

My collection is called Quiet & The Ecstatic. It is an exploration of the sacredness underlying every moment – ordinary to extraordinary. The collection moves from a whisper of a prayer, to the ecstatic roar of a thousand voices”.

The Quite (Part 1)

These are the ordinary silent moments around us all the time. But they are extraordinary if we pay closer attention. These moments have a power to make us connect with our own true selves, moments that can disconnect from the chaos of life and find that moment of rejuvenation, hope and energy.

The vanishing point,
Where the worlds come together,
The mystical and the physical.
