Why a Patreon / Why a Website

While we all live in exciting times, where creating has become so democratic and connecting has become so easy, the whole system is controlled by organisations who also place restrictions in the form of guidelines to control what can be put out and what is not as ok for their audiences. The audiences themselves have no say or...

BTS | By Ashwin

There have been a number of requests by patrons to share my shoot process through BTS videos etc. There were two challenges on this, or three maybe. First was I always shoot alone, I use no assistants who would shoot the bts videos like for other photographers. Second was I was not very keen on doing videos myself, as I was n...

An endless wait

The Why of A Manual Lens

The beauty of a manual lens are to shot with to believe. I started using a manual lens to slow me down a little bit and also be able to get a true film like feel. I also wanted to choose my focus in addition to my frame.

The 23mmf1.4 was the first lens i bought but on a crop sensor it almost replicated a phone camera f...

Some More from The G Spot Search

Nail Art

We shot these, over a full weekend, starting with one muse, then two and finally ending up with three at the end of the day. I am calling these TIC4P, three is company four is perfect. This shoot was very elaborate so merits multiple stories on platinum and eth sections of the website and the mood is very much the same as the...

Sheer Luck / Teaser

The G Spot Search

The initial location hunting :) Constant rains, and the fright of a new place played constantly on my mind while shooting these.

Gear Talk

Not only is gear important, the way you select your gear is more important. As you go along, a photographer will always keep investing in new gear be it accessories or lenses etc etc And it would become increasingly impossible to carry it all along with you for your shoot. 

This series, on Everything Photography an...

Body Art : More of these on the ETH Tier

These are from the elaborate shoot with the absolutely beautiful human. We had Sanjib Majumder help with this beautiful body paint.

The G Spot Search : Public Teaser

I was on a holiday with some frens over the weekend. It was a short holiday, but I had spoken to Yuthe about a probable shoot for a long time. The only time available was really early morning, assuming my friends would be still up drinking or asleep completely drunk. 

She thankfully was enthusiastic about an early ...

Nudity, Erotica in Ancient Public Places

Today's world of Social Media, though may sound very exciting for creators, it truly is not the case. And for a country like India. it only is worse in our Print and Cinema Mediums. Anything with nudity and erotica is conveniently disallowed under the guise of censorship. While western countries are still open to nudity and e...

July WallPaper

Drinks after Dinner

with some muses, it is always very long hours of shooting, sometimes over night sometimes longer. the shoots are in breaks ofc and usually with more than one muse, so they all get a breather. we take burst of 10-15 mins to make some story and break and so on.... this was late into the night and out came the strobe.. sometimes...

No Boundaries : Teasure

The public posts, has given you a fair bit about this story shoot. Putting out the very initial browses that I just made to see what we did over the weekend. Only the large screen gives me absolute confidence, of what we create always. 

No Boundaries : Public Post

I had the pleasure to shoot with an artist friend this weekend, during her brief stay in our country. We have been in touch for a while, and were aware of each other's work and wanting to create with each other was really a no no brainer. 

Apart from her being from a foreigner, we also broke a few more boundaries d...

My Sharing Process

So, even when I had started shooting in late 2018, I would always take a lot of pride in sharing my photographs with my collaborators within 2-3 days of the shoot. I feel, everyone is excited to see the results of something we have done, and making them wait endlessly is not fair. Even though, I always show my collaborators a...

BTS Videos: Public Post

I am trying to create bts videos to show the way i see things, the way i compose my frames, the way i light my subjects. The safe ones are posted here as links (patreon does not allow adult only accounts to post vids directly). The NSFW one will be under a new BTS Section of the EH Area of the Website.

The ETH Area of t...

Wardrobe Malfunctions

Shot on my fuji, impromptu when she came over for just a cuppa coffee, after one of my other shoots. We sat talking along with the other muse whom i was shooting . And when the muse left, she said why can’t we shoot something?? I said why not we always can …

My Photographic Intent

In this age of attention seeking, people do end up using very big words to be a part of the crowd and still at the same time not understand the spirit of the words in the real context.

It is only when you engage with people over sometime that you realise that what they are and what they say may really be two very diffe...
