My Thought Process

Although I sincerely believe that photography has no rules, I follow a simple rule ‘If there is a photograph to be made, I would take it’. I do get in people’s face, I’m ready to be punched or hurt in the process. Yes its very Gliden-esque style of photographing. But also at times, I take the backseat, seating in a cafe for hours, sipping cafe Americain and photographing passerby doing the most ordinary things and trying to make sense of it. I try not to be rigid in what I shoot, I feel our lives are already so fixed on societal norms that if there was one thing I would like to be more say more ‘fluid’ it would be photography. At the same time, I’m very aware of the context and ensure that I’m protecting their basic human rights.

As I photograph almost anything, I compile each scene, each person to be part of my own documentary. At my old age, I want to be able to pull out a frame and reflect back on the memories tied to it - hence calling it ‘documentary’ is apt. I want it to give insights to my sights, my thought process.
