NO SMOKING @ DHARAVI - PICTURES

Friends!

I don’t think i’ve done such appalling photography ever in my life. Have been resisting from posting these online, but PFC are a determined lot. See, as i posted earlier, i landed at the No Smoking shoot only with the intention of getting a feel of the shooting, milieu and of course to observe AK at work.

Capturing images was incidental…never thought i would be posting anything here ..not even the experience…

So do excuse the terrible pic. quality - exposure, contrast, levels — all wrong.

good thing is, i like my photography unhearsed, candid and raw .. one day when i make my film i want my doP to have lots of work to do. ok.i’ll stop dreaming now…lot of hardwork to do in life…

Hope to post more..when i have work and a decent internet connection — or sooner…who knows.

AK at work

AK - in control

Balcony!.

More crowds

U guessed it - NS!

where...

Work at Dharavi

    smriti, we’re living these shoots vicariously thru you and your lens, so no need to apologize. great pics, and keep ‘em coming!

    I second striker’s thoughts completely. In fact, the pics have a very raw, honest feel to them. Keep them coming!

    I liked the emotions captured in your shots. I guess you were using film and over exposed little bit, which is not bad. I was asking Raj Kumar to post some continuity pics of dharavi, so that people could feel, what it is like to be there. Thanks for sharing the pics with us!
