Kalapi Unlimited ...

This upcoming designer, "Sonia Kalapi" has an unlimited love and passion for creativity. My earlier post was on how i did my shoot with her bags/clutches. Presenting to you her another version of creativity with my another post on  public relations photography on fashion :-

During the shoot which was done at the store, three most important points i learned about public relations photography on fashion were :-

1) Understand the soul of the subject/product.
2) Converse with the designer and the journalist/writer/blogger/freelance before the shoot.
3) Understand the concept in the mind of the journalist/writer/blogger/freelance doing the story on the subject and discuss the pictures and placement of the subject/product with him/her during the shoot. Thus enhance the whole shoot with your photography skills.
4)Carry four sheets of White/Black chart paper.

2)Scissors, sellotape. 

3) A visit to a the location before the shoot, to check the availability of efficient lights.

After reading the above point and images see the images finally selected by  fashion blogger,"Megna" on her blog. -

The King Of All Seasons, Came And Went Away with Dhol and Barati....

It was drizzling in the evening time and i was thinking on which type of tea to make today, as i decided on masala chai, a background voice shouted,"ganpati bapa moriya". I went to my bedroom's window and found not only men but kid fully engrossed in making preparations to bid farewell to the lord of all seasons,"Ganesha". 

Though religious  processions are a common sight, but when it comes to the beating of dhols in these processions, i go into seventh heaven of peace. Maybe it is this magic which effects everyone, as i ran down i could see young boys beating the dhols with immense power, continually for twenty minutes at a stretch, people were dancing madly, in spite of the rains, the energy level and the passion of devotion, love and purity was everywhere within every beat of the dhols. Hope i can take you across a bit of that magic through my pictures:-
