Wood shopping & the Fujifilm X-Pro2

Posted on by Abhishek Scariya

Had a great time shooting this morning. A happy coincidence of accompanying an artist friend to Bamboo Bazar, Bangalore’s wood market and having the Fujifilm X-Pro2 with the 18mm f2 lens lent by me friend and fellow photographer Chentil . Though I initially didn’t plan to shot much, once I got going with the Acros + Green filter film simulation,  It was as if the scene before me was asking to go for more. The sawdust, old machinery and graphic geometry aws too good to pass by.

Tall, White, Bald and Inspiring – Visiting the first ever Hyderabad Photo Festival

Posted on by Abhishek Scariya

The photo festival scene in India is still in it’s infancy. There are times when one regrets missed opportunities for not just the individual but for the whole fraternity. This is usually followed by rants of personal and collective struggles but then, a time comes when you smack yourself in the head, pack your bags and leave. A few weeks ago, along with fellow photographer Nishal Lama, I went to the inaugural Indian Photography Festival – Hyderabad. Though our trip was very brief we intended to make most of it by attending talks and discussions and a photowalk with the likes of Ben Lowy, Barbara Davidson and others. Given below are the pictures I made along with some observations and inspiration that I got in the process.
