#10 - The Morning Grind

Collection

Untitled Collection #252906009

Description

Artist: Sammya Brata Medium: Photography Edition: 1/1 Collection: The Enlightenment - Series I Shot at Koley Market in Calcutta during the early winter morning, this image showcases how “cut light” or “god rays” emanating from the windows of the market can create a dramatic impact on any subject passing through this spot. Smoke particles and dust further accentuates the effect of early morning light which coupled with the intense expression on the vendor's face adds that magical touch to this image. The image is representative of the fact that no profession should be looked down upon; "enlightenment" or "salvation" can be achieved by anyone who's dedicated in his/her own work. It is often said that “Early bird catches the worm” and this photograph is a true manifestation of the fact that if you sacrifice a bit of your comfort of sleeping for an extra hour on a Sunday morning, you can end up creating some memorable photographs. This environmental portrait defines "Professions of India" for me. Image specifications- 4016x6016 Shot in year - 2020 Device- Nikon D750 About the collection: Chasing light or "finding light" has been quite a fascination for me right from the childhood days. Not just because of the sheer visual delight that it brings on to the table, but the way it adds a strong element of story-telling to your otherwise mundane photographs. I have been shooting "God-light" both early in the morning during winters as well as late afternoon but one thing is in common- these "dramatic" images often end up inducing the feeling of "enlightenment" and contentment in the entire process. This is the first series called "Enlightenment" and has 15 images shot across India primarily during the winter season when the impact of sun-rays is the maximum.
