Framing the ‘familiar’

Recent Post

It all started with the morning walks and the beauty of nature forced this businessman and farmer to turn into an amateur photographer. So Ashish Raj  picked up the camera (his I phone X) about 15 months back with the perspective of freezing whatever struck him into eternity. Accordingly, flowers of all sorts, with due drops on top, uprooted tree, roads, roundabouts etc they all came together in his first ever exhibition. 

“I displayed 87 works to be precise. People say we’ll click when we go to an exotic destination but it’s just about your perspective. Wherever we live, can be exotic enough for us to capture them,” he shared of his works that had been displayed at Government Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh. 

 Having been clicked at three places, namely Chandigarh, Saharnpur and Hoshiarpur, he says that none of the works have been colour corrected, photo shopped,  or even  touched at all. A few frames have been dedicated to kites which he says remind him of his childhood while in another there is just a bullet. “While capturing the character of the city, things are incomplete without a bullet,” he laughs. —TNS
