Photo Retouching
The way you tell your story can make all the difference. While there is beauty in the way just as a picture is, editing can enhance your image so much. I love how creative you can get with this process.

‘Maybe there will be a time where we don't make choices anymore. That both options work.’
Madras + Atlanta | Digital Art
I moved to the United States with a preconceived notion about how life would be here. Coming from a society that values community and togetherness, I was not used to the loneliness that came from living in a world that laid much emphasis on individuality. I was a stranger in a strange space.
The aim of this project has been to transform my discomfort among strangers into something more familiar. Taken as a whole, the stories in this project define the hope and strength that I wish to reinstate. The fleeting interactions with the people that I photograph present a perspective without judgment or preconceived notions. Everything is taken at face value.
BEYOND
I like to believe that I am a modern Indian woman. I was not raised to take care of the house. I am not expected to cook, and clean, and spend a considerable part of my adult life in the kitchen, unlike the older women in my family. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, I know in my bones that there will be a day when I will find myself in that kitchen. Even though I wasn’t taught so, through my upbringing, I subconsciously imbibed one cultural value over another. It is my responsibility, as a woman and a mother, to provide. However, as a representative of my generation, I also find it my responsibility to explore the repercussions of these values. Thus the birth of Beyond.
This series is about photographs that have images of women who come from a similar background, who have their kitchen being projected onto them. The kitchen here being a metaphor for ancient value systems having control over us way after they become obsolete. Despite all that so called change, there is still that cultural responsibility that prevails bearing down on us, subconsciously.
