LUCKNOW: When retired Army officer and award winning photographer Col (retd)
Anil Mehrotra
was planning his photography exhibition, he did explore a few themes for his fourth such event.
Going through his
photographs
, however, he though it might not be the best idea to restrict his expressions to a single idea. Anyone who has seen the exhibition of 58 frames would agree.
The sheer variety in terms of places, people and in some cases, emotions, shows the wide range of Mehrotra’s lens, literally and figuratively.
Among his shots is worker on way to his morning ritual outside public toilets at
Kumbh
in Allahabad as well as a tourist engrossed in his phone outside
Eiffel Tower
in Paris. Both scenes, though routine, appear picture perfect.
“These photographs have no common thread. I shot each one because it was a moment I wanted to capture. Be it an office building in Seoul or a parent and child in Rome, the shot speaks for itself. Hence the name, Nishabd,” says Mehrotra.
Curated by renowned photographer Anil Risal Singh, the week-long exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi will conclude on Saturday.
