This project was mainly inspired by our late night photo-shoot sessions after a long day at college. I was very much enchanted by the beauty of the place named 'Kalyani' during night. The streets and the lights attracted me the most. So starting slow, I decided to make a series of artworks, in which each of them would confer an essence of the emotions we were experiencing in our day to day life and at the same time would deliver the aesthetics of the environment and ambiance.
Most of the photos are a long exposure shot or combination of multiple exposures, which were then processed in Adobe Lightroom and then reconstructed in Adobe Photoshop, and extra elements and lighting were added. Then again it was reprocessed and colored in Lightroom to get the final result.
Thanking You,
