Meet Anuj, a cinematographer based in Mumbai, uses photography as a deeply personal memoir. He finds great excitement and joy in revisiting the backup folders on his phone, where his captured moments come alive.

Meet Raj Tambade, a dynamic mixed-media artist who uses photography to capture and critique the complexities of the contemporary world. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of visual narrative, Raj’s work delves into the intricacies of the current political landscape, unraveling the layers of meaning and ideology that shape our perception of reality.

Influenced by his interest in filmmaking and avant-garde cinema, Raj’s artistic practice merges the immediacy of photography with the narrative depth of film. This interdisciplinary approach results in a unique and thought-provoking body of work.

A passionate advocate for the artistic integrity of cinema, Raj intends to conceive black-and-white films as a way to critique the degradation of mainstream filmmaking. By reverting to the classic aesthetics and storytelling techniques of earlier times, he aims to highlight the need for the industry to rediscover its foundational values.

Meet Sai Charan Bade, a photographer driven by a desire to communicate visually, captures the essence of everyday life on the streets. Despite his uncertainty about achieving his vision through a camera, Sai Charan constantly visualizes his desired outcome.

His photographic process is a mix of excitement and intimidation, as his shyness can sometimes hinder him from even taking out his camera. However, his passion for photography has led him to a deeply personal exploration, focused on sharing his feelings rather than seeking external validation.

Despite his technical limitations, Sai Charan's photography is not hindered. Instead, he relies on his intuition and his unique perspective on life to guide his work. He firmly believes that a great photograph is a result of a collaboration between himself and the streets, with the environment playing a pivotal role in presenting itself to his lens.
