Recently, photography has been accepted by the gatekeepers of high culture as an exquisite art form. It has been hailed as a portrayal of bespoke emotions and in-depth admiration of humanity and nature. There are various genres ranging from portraits, nature photography, risqué boudoir photography or even selfies. The spectrum at which this art form operates is impeccable.
As critically acclaimed American writer Susan Sontag says, “Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality, one can’t possess reality but one can possess images. The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.” These artists do exactly that with their works. It is only natural that proficients of the form be appreciated and known. In India, there are some budding photographers who have caught our attention, here at the Talented Indian.
Subham Shome
Subham Shome, a photographer that captures nature’s many marvels, is an extremely talented photographer. His works are awe-inspiring and are meant to open our eyes to the glamorous enormity of the planet we call home. From picturesque night skies and waterfalls, his art leaves us astounded.
Nurboo Tashee
Nurboo Tashee works with culture as his muse. He is a solo traveller and loves to speak of his travels through his camera. He is currently in Leh, Ladakh. He doesn’t just focus on the scenery of the places he travels, like Sikkim, but also, the people there. In their most comfortable elements. From serene monks to innocently gleeful children, his shots tell us stories of a traveller with a lot on his mind.
Pranay Das
For the photographer Pranay Das, people are his subject and armed with his lens he’s ready to dissect the unthinkable emotions of the human mind. His work focuses on ordinary people, in stills of their ordinary routines, but with an extraordinary power of feeling. He wants to portray the angst of the common, raising it to the panache of the brilliant. Looking at his pictures, the viewer feels as though Pranay has had a deep conversation with the subject and has now decided to show the person to us, but hide the innermost circles, almost tempting us in a way as though it is forbidden knowledge.
KK Roy
KK Roy likes to focus on himself and captures himself enjoying life in full swing and loves the camera’s attention. While some of his captures transcend you in the warmth or nature, the others emphasise the its magnificence.
