Concept line art is a minimalist artistic technique that focuses on capturing the essence of a subject through simple, deliberate lines, often without the use of shading or color. Originating from various artistic traditions, including Japanese calligraphy and Western architectural sketching , this style strips away unnecessary details to reveal the fundamental form and energy of an object, person, or scene. Artists typically use continuous, fluid strokes to create images that are both economical and expressive, relying on the viewer's imagination to fill in the gaps. Contemporary concept line art has gained popularity in digital illustration , graphic design , and tattoo art , with practitioners using tools ranging from traditional pen and paper to digital drawing tablets.

  My journey into photo stories, photo essay, narrative photography, and documentary photography began with a slow realisation that a single frame was rarely enough. I wanted to capture the syntax of the wild, moving beyond the isolated portrait to build visual essays that breathe life into their subjects. The camera is my tool, but the narrative is always provided by the way we see. My journey as a narrative photographer is simply an ongoing attempt to do justice to the stories the world is already telling. Here are a few of the stories through the eye of my camera. Kaziranga and Its One-horned Rhinos I love Kaziranga ; because here they are not caged or fenced as an exhibition item for the homo sapiens . The rhinoceros, elephants, wild buffalos, deer, the occasional tigers, and many other smaller animals roam free in this 430 square- kilometre expanse across the flood plains of Brahmaputra . Kaziranga lies between the Brahmaputra and the Karbi Hills . Much of the park is marshlan...

  Laying down ones life for another has more meaning than just dying, it also means to understand, to show up, to stand with, and to reach out. Covid-19 put us in unprecedented times. Nobody had all the answers or supplies. With muster-seed faith they began with what they had, may be only a few loaves, but, what happened next is a miracle. Covid -19 WAVES OF COMPASSION  is a documentary short film shot during the first wave of Covid-19 in India. Here I break down its process and narrative style. Watch the film here:  Waves of Compassion   In the thick of the first wave of covid-19 I was asked by the CRI, Bangalore , to make a documentary film on their involvement with the Pandemic emergency. It meant visiting six plus shelter camps, visiting food Kichens and distribution chains, from the heart of the city to the very end of the suburbs. It would also mean coming in direct contact with a lot of people. I agreed. I began with the first day, almost fully cov...
