LOOK THROUGH THE LENSES

Hi,
I am Rashi Anand from Kolkata and pursuing Masters in Political Studies in JNU, New Delhi.
I am doing an internship with 'Seagull Foundation for the Arts' in Kolkata and getting the opportunity to learn a lot. I have been fortunately assigned to work with Naveen Kishore himself and prepare an archive for his valuable photographic projects.

Through photographs one can actually sense and feel. This is what I also found in Naveen Kishore's photographs. His pictures make you feel as if you present in the place where the picture has been taken. He has traveled through the world taking pictures all over. I have had the luck of going through all his work which consists pictures of New York, London, Japan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, France, Nepal, Bhutan and most of India which consists of Kolkata, Goa, Sikkim, Mumbai, Pune etc.

There are also pictures of various theatre performances of which Manipur fascinates me . There are also the pictures of performances of Jatra, an ancient form of theatre in Bengal capturing the well known theatre artist Chapal Bahaduri, who is known for transforming into Goddess Sitala and his other plays where he plays the lead female role.

It is quite a wonder how one manages to capture the world in his lenses. Naveen seems to capture the 'civilization' and the best part is how you feel as a part of each corner of the globe as you go through his pictures. He captures the natural expression on every being’s face without any artificial painstaking postures.

My work is going at a good and a comfortable pace and a lot more is left to be done, and I would make sure no stone is left unturned. I would definitely be writing again to fill you all up with more of my valuable experience.
