“We all need to experience and learn from different walks of life and if the experience is profound, expression follows automatically. I personally don’t believe that Street Photography is either limited to one particular moment or limited to celebration of the unexpected/ illusions only. Street Photography is special to me as it freezes the chosen moment from a continuous life and can carry a deeper sense of historical, cultural and socio-economic reality. Street also offers patterns or combinations which, when discovered and connected, becomes the vehicle to visually express deep-seated personal thoughts too.
The other day, I was watching a video on Henri-Cartier Bresson where he said that discovering patterns and shades and putting them in the right places in the frame is an intellectual pleasure. I thought what he meant was when the desired combination fell into place around the subject, it actually became a reflection of a part of his own mind.”

“Photography has taught me to see a lot more (different lives, subjects, shapes, colors, combinations, patterns), see selectively as well as peripherally and know a lot more about life. It has connected me with lots of people that I wanted to connect to across class and social barriers (both in front as well as behind the camera) – a daily-wager in Old Delhi and a famous Street Photographer from France or China can both be good friends and I learn from both of them. I see a lot more now, learn a lot more and know a lot more – that’s a great gift to life.”
