Laces & Smokes on ETH
We shot these all day, and this was the second look we tried :) i love to style my shoots as well, so for this we got a pair of laces, and they were padded so we cut out the pads to make it look the way we wanted it...More on the website ETH Area
BTS : On ETH
A Week in a Day :) These on a beautiful lazy afternoon, outdoors
Whites & Her’s
Barn Doors and Strobes can be a lethal combination in bodyscapes. A bit of burnt out overexposure never hurt anyone
Bean Bags & Her
We shot these with strobes after dinner.
The Urge
Even when you try to shoot your best possible combination for a given location, light, muse, vibe, genre with the available gear, the urge to reach out to the sliders, when you see your photographs on the large computer screen, is for real. ( brighten it a bit, denoise, vignette, mask, heal blah blah) It is an instinct...
Some quick shoots during the week
Sometimes work winds up early to allow me an hour or two of shooting. Plans are short and usually with someone with whom something has been discussed earlier or some one new. Will post a small bts video on the website ETH Tier on the web soon . And yes some more frames we made, these are screen grabs from the camera lc...
Hemlines when the Light is Low
We met really late in the night and the room had not much light. But then when you want to make photographs, there are no excuses. The whole night got better as we discovered new ideas to light up the place, These are just from the first hour :)

I quickly realised my stupidity and immediately graduated to an Elinchrome System RX200 i think which came in pai...

Overnighters
A lot of my shoots are really long with more than one muse, whom i shoot individually and sometimes together. The idea is to give them some breathing and thinking space when they are not shootingThis one was one of them, i was shooting 1 for the first time. We were to shoot indoors on day 1 and outdoors on day 2. This ...

Cold Feet
A good body of work, a good discussion helps establish good comfort level with collaborators in this genre. Muses feel confident and also excitement drives the confidence.But no matter how good you have had and feel it is all going to plan, it will always invariably break down on the evening prior to the shoot. They w...
Sno Stills (+ Web)
Back Light always generates interesting silhouettes, but the idea is to put some life into them too, instead of making them ghost dark. Expose correct.
From the Heat Wave
We thought we must try something with honey. And yes what a mess we made.

Shot on FujiFilm MF
No Boundaries
Many of my muses are also very good photographers themselves. Most discovered the beauty of their own bodies, outside the confines of the conditioned society norms. A camera is truly a medium which throws you so many surprises, And many self portraits artists dabble with this medium and genre, before adventuring to wor...
