I. Amritsar In Pictures by Mayank Mudnaney

A fashion photographer by profession, Mumbai-based 28-year-old Mayank Mudnaney’s latest photoseries is an exploration of Punjab. Narrating how the series came to be to Homegrown, he said, “I went to Amritsar for a shoot and a part of it was to explore the place and portray what it is all about. So with this in mind, I wanted to capture what Amritsar has to offer and also portray the people who belong there. This indeed was one of the best experiences in my life as I got to meet so many people and it was absolutely overwhelming to see how welcoming they were, it was never a dull time around them.”

II. Desolate by Soham Joshi

Inspired by the New Topographics movement and Group f/64, photographer Soham’s style is modernist at its core. Be it the human body or architecture, his work celebrates the subject’s forms that are being photographed. As an artist, he often experiments with making mix-media imageries at the intersection of multiple art disciplines. For his latest series Desolate with Jaipur-based fashion stylist, visual artist and creative director Navya Sharma, who has done the creative direction, styling and concepts, they explore the feeling of utter emptiness that artists feel during the process of creating and failing as it is what ‘desolate’ represents. This series is about the chaos that artists find themselves in and the beauty that is associated with it.

III. Happy Couple by Surya Shekhar

With art direction and concept by Surya Shekhar, a visual artist based out of Kolkata exploring culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and society through minimalism and photography by Ashlen Singh and Saurabh Basu, the photoseries Happy Couple portrays layers of insecurity in a relationship. What happens when the person you love the most, falls in love with someone else. You leave or stay, the choices you make and at what expense. Something so dysfunctional from the inside, still manages to look like a beautiful painting.

IV. Lilith with Sheerah

“I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit
only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the
superior one.’ Lilith responded, ‘We are equal to each other
inasmuch as we were both created from the earth”

Photographer Linda Blacker with model Sheerah as her muse created an ethereal photoseries capturing all that Lilith stood for. The project is called Lilith, a mythological feminist figure/demon. As feminine power radiates from this series, we are able to feel a certain sense of women’s identity and all its aspects. The female form in the most natural manner lends all its beauty to the series. Assertion of her power and might comes across clearly, and Sheerah and Linda’s collaborative magic comes through beautifully.

V. Together, But Not Really by Mohit Tiwari

Photographer and aspiring filmmaker Mohit Tiwari’s portraits are always an honest exploration of human emotions and intimacy. His latest is the photoseries Together, But Not Really, tries to capture the essence of a long-distance relationship and the impact that it has on the people involved. Of the series he says, “This series employs blurry aesthetics to try and present how our bodies are present and yet not there when our lover is far away from us. It tries to softly capture the gaps and distances involved in a long-distance relationship.”
