Question 1): Would you tell us more about you and your interest in Photography?

After my Diploma in cinematography, I mostly involved myself with photography due to my childhood passion. Throughout my career spanning over 35 years, I’ve been a freelance professional mainly working with clients in the commercial and advertising sector. Most of my clients in the private sector have been top MNCs that you’ve come across on a daily basis. Government bodies too, like the BHEL, BEML, Indian Coffee Board, NALCO and many others have relied upon me for their imaging solutions.

On the other hand, my primary interests in the ‘art of photography’ have been primarily landscapes, pictorial and wildlife which I’ve mainly specialized in. I like to travel a lot since my profession demands it. Hence, I’ve now also begun covering travel and people etc.

Question 2): Can you please tell us about the types of Photography you indulge with?

As I said, I’m primarily a commercial and advertising photographer. It includes an assorted set of services like celebrations, candids, consumables(food), hospitality and interiors, large scale and commercial spaces, product shoots, special assignments, and weddings. But I do frequently move out of the city in search of wildlife and landscapes. If you don’t find me in Bengaluru, I’ll be either camping in the Himalayas or searching for wildlife in some national parks in the Northern part of the county.

Question 3): What is the inspiration that keeps you going?

The art of photography, to do something creative, and by looking at others images, which prompts me to make me to try something new. Everyday I get inspired.

Question 4): How do you feel when your work is exhibited and viewed by tons of people?

Well, it’s a celebration of my works, which is appreciated by tons of artists and well wishers. it is their encouragement, which keeps me going. I honor their criticism as well as their appreciation. it gives me more energy and feel enlighted , when they use all adjectives.

Question 5): Can you tell us something about Photography and its inception?

Well, it is an International language, which has no boundaries, understood by all. It is an art form, which gives satisfaction to millions, irrespective of their cast and work they do. It is totally a stress buster to those who are workaholics. in fact, we wait for some reasons to pick our camera and go out into nature.

Question 6): To you, what is Photography?

It is a passion, a religion, a dream, and it is my life. Photography isn’t just about clicking pictures or winning awards. It is a continuous learning process that can throw open various ideas from just a single book in a store. It’s about enjoying the thought process that goes into making a ‘great picture’.

Question 7): Please share us some of your achievements in Photography Profession?

I’ve been honored by some of the world’s best photo organizations in this world.

1989

The FIAP (Federation De’l Art Photographique) from Belgium conferred the Master of FIAP (MFIAP), currently the most senior recognition issued to an individual.

2001

the Youth Photographic Society (YPS) Bengaluru recognized my personal achievements and contributions to YPS with the ‘Honorary Membership’ to the club.

2004

The Image Colleague Society(ICS) from California conferred the Honorary Fellowship in recognition of my personal achievements and contributions to the field of art photography.

2015

I was conferred with the MICS(Master of the Image Colleague Society).

I’ve also won the Lalitha Kala Academy Award in the state of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
Apart from these, there are about countless medals, and certificates from various international salons worldwide.

Question 8): Can you tell us about the general response you receive in exhibitions?

Not as expected. not many people like to visit exhibitions. response will be poor most of the times. And it depends on the exhibition venue also. People are no more interested to see and appreciate ART in exhibitions.

Question 9): How do you feel about your association with Honeycomb creative support?

Honeycomb is a very creative digital media firm than any others I’ve come across so far. The way they approach anything related to print media always amazes me. Due to my pleasing experience with them, I’ve recommended a dozen people to have their print and digital media requirements covered by Honeycomb and their response has always been highly positive.

Solo Exhibition – The pinnacle of your success

Your life is a canvas to the world and it’s only YOU who has to make sure that it looks inspiring. Beginning your career as an artist, you only aim for people to recognize your work for which you end up planning a lot of exhibitions with your art group. But, that is not where you should stop, as an artist you should know when to take the right step for your career that moulds your career into a success story. This is the point when you should start planning for your Next Big Step – A Solo Exhibition.

A solo exhibition is basically an exhibition showcasing the work of only one artist. Rolling out your own Solo Exhibition can turn out to be an extremely beneficial process for you, as you enjoy a total control over all the main parts of your show. But, as much as it is rewarding, at the same time it is challenging too. But you don’t have to worry, we’ve got your back. We have discussed all the main points and benefits that you have to keep in mind while rolling out an amazing show, let’s take a look –

1. Why Solo?

A Solo show can be a demanding task but it moulds you in the best way possible as a professional. It makes you see a bigger picture of hard work and determination behind a great show. The best part is that everything is in your hands from choosing the right venue to spreading out the word. While rolling out your own solo exhibition, you should be aware of whether you have a well-groomed collection of your work that binds together your ideas and theme or not. You can also take help of a curator who will be able to help you bring different elements of your show altogether. A solo exhibition compels you to think critically about your work and how others will interpret it. A solo show makes you realize that you are sole in charge of your destiny.

2. Choose a Venue –

Finding the right venue to exhibit your artwork is one of the most important parts of the process. If you practice on a limited budget, you can research and find enough gallery spaces that are seeking an exquisite range of artworks to fill their empty walls. You can also look up for multi-practice venues or centres with available gallery spaces. Other options may include local cafes, bars, restaurants and libraries. You can also try and search for artist-led spaces who may offer you space at reduced rates.

3. Work out a Theme –

One of the major decisions while planning up a Solo show is what theme do you want to portray through your work. Many times an art exhibition appears more like a hodge-podge of artworks, so your aim should be to include only those artworks that go well with your theme. Your whole Solo exhibition should portray a good narrative as it will give your viewers a sense of direction about the exhibition. Selection of your works is an integral part of portraying your narrative and so it should make sense to each viewer. Think of your exhibition as a visual story, with each work representing a different character. One of the best ways to learn how to put each element of your theme together is to hit a few local art exhibitions. The final step is to work out on your theme by giving a certain message through your exhibition to your audience. The well you prepare your theme, the more exciting it would be for your viewers.

Exhibiting the art work

4. Positioning your work –

Now, this is the time when you have to decide where to position which piece of work. As you walk around the space, you will see the white empty walls are waiting for your artwork to stun your viewers. Most of the galleries that keep on hosting artist run exhibitions have some kind of adjustable hanging systems. It’s better to visit the place before hand and know what kind of hanging systems they have. Also, carry a tool box containing all manner of hanging related bits and bobs. You should hang on your piece of artworks according to the narrative story that you’re going to portray. If possible try and adjust the position of the lights for perfect elegance and now it’s all set to amaze your audience.

Exhibiting the art work

5. Spread the word –

You’ve worked really hard to make this show a hit and now what you need is people to come and recognize your work. Social media platforms are the key to get all your publicity related problems sorted. Use your blog, twitter, Facebook, Tumblr handles to spread out the word. You can also try and get your event listed on popular art events sites such as Artrabbit, Time Out etc. You can also create Flyers, business cards and posters and display them in galleries, theatres and local shops. See this as an opportunity to improve your public relations skills and let people know your ideas and inspirations behind your work.

Demand of Canvas Print in India in present time

Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate – maybe, this is the reason why different forms of art still continue to flourish.

It was the love for aesthetics and all things beautiful that gave birth to fine art. If you travel back in time to the historical era, fine arts broadly existed under five categories:

  • Painting
  • Sculpture
  • Architecture
  • Music
  • Poetry

Even theatre and dance was included in the fine arts category later on because of the exceptional grace that individuals showcased on the stage.

In addition to the above-mentioned, today we have more forms of art joining the category of fine arts, such as:

  • Film
  • Photography
  • Video production or editing
  • Design
  • Sequential design
  • Conceptual art
  • Printmaking

Canvas Artwork for Dining Room

Do you know what the word ‘fine’ actually stands for in ‘fine art’? If you thought that it is some sort of measure of quality, you are certainly wrong. It basically means the purity of the art-form and a love for art.

India being a country rich in its culture, heritage and diversity, it provides the perfect opportunity for nourishing different forms of art. From painters to sculptors to film-makers to singers and dancers, it is one country that harnesses the power of art and applies it to varied fields.

One such field where fine art is really making its mark is canvas printing. With the revolutionary giclee printing, it is now possible to preserve pieces of fine art and printing them detail-by-detail. With the passage of time, a lot of paintings seem to have become destroyed, but canvas printing seems to breathe life into them.

Not just the old paintings, but giclee printing can even add life to new-age digital photographs and help individuals to frame it. By combining fine art with giclee canvas printing, stalwarts are making an attempt to make sure that art becomes evergreen.

Coating a Canvas Print Protects the Painting

A painting or photographic picture is slave to the onslaught of time. On the other hand, canvas prints can be coated with a protective cover that keeps it from harm’s way. The print will remain as good as new for years to come without the need of much maintenance. You can even choose the kind of paper you want for the print to the type of coat.

Protecting Prints on Canvas

Fine Art Captured in Canvas

Canvas printing is a wonderful way to preserve paintings and pictures that have existing since time immemorial. Even museums are warming up to this idea and are increasingly opting for canvas printing of the paintings that are displayed at their wall. This way, they are making sure that the fine piece of arts is thoroughly maintained and they will not fall victim to the tortures of time.

As technology is advancing at a rapid pace, even fine giclee printers are being available in the market. Equipped with the latest technology, canvas printing promises to provide the highest possible reproductions that you have ever seen. It is not for nothing that exhibitions and museums all over the world are going crazy over such technology.

India is Highly Appreciative of Great Art

When it comes to appreciating art, India definitely takes the cake away. India is a growing economy and along with everything else, this country is showing a keen interest in preserving its fine art.

This urge has pushed India to adopt canvas printing technology. The demand for both fine art and canvas printing is keeping pace with one another. There are art connoisseurs who love to hang fine art in their living room, as well as, decorate their office spaces with it. There are also others who like to invest in canvas prints that are reproductions of fine art.

Indian Architecture and Sculpture

If you really ask which one is more in demand, it is going to be a very difficult question to answer. Canvas printing is fine art being represented in the modern era because the art made in yesteryears need to be preserved and the future generation need to be aware of the great artists that India was blessed with.

The demand for both is highly increasing and art as a whole is beginning to capture an extremely important position in the hearts and life of the Indian people. This art revolution is something that will take some time to die down or maybe it won’t.

What do you prefer – fine art or canvas printing? Please share your thoughts.
