The Art of Dancing

NasarAlam — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:20:41 +0000

The art of dancing represents the motion of contemporary dance while using motion blur. The picture itself is one of the best representations of how motion blur and composite shots combined together can give us descriptive stories. Considering how excited I was for this particular shoot because after 2 years of staying away from the artistic photography concept I finally got a chance to do this shoot with two dancers. Chiara when I discussed the idea with her asked me if her friend Fleur could join us during the shoot. Even though like always I was sceptical about deciding if I should have two models in a single shoot I took the chance. Honestly, looking at it now I think it couldn’t have been better than this.

Skater in Colmar Practising Tricks

While walking through the streets of Colmar as I arrived in the city centre, I saw young kids doing all sorts of sports. Among them was this one skater in Colmar, who was practising his skills which I was able to capture in this image.

Mermaid Stranded on Shore

This Photoshoot was done with Tina Mchedlishvili in Sitges. Although more like Merida, I decided in the middle of the shoot to give a try to a shot where she looked like a mermaid who was stranded on the shore. And hence we got this picture representing a mermaid stranded over a rock. Her wet clothes represent the idea that she just came out of the water while her bodied emotions show how anxious all this is for her.

Lonely Lar Gibbon in Captivity

While visiting Lille Zoo I came to see this Lar Gibbon sitting all alone collecting leaves from the ground and just looking at it. I realized that it was the only one in the captivity not sure about the reason I clicked this photo, and it came out perfectly representing its loneliness. This lonely Lar Gibbon was a perfect representation of what captivity can do to one. Just a year later as COVID lockdowns were enforced we found this out by ourselves.

Trail of a Car

NasarAlam — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 20:25:38 +0000

Back when I was visiting Munich, I decided to take a long walk at night alongside Harris and his brother Rauf. After walking through multiple streets, we came to the front of Central Munich Residency and outside was this empty road from where after every few seconds of the interval a fast-driving car would pass. This gave me an idea to capture the lightning trail of a car.

Friendship in Contrast

NasarAlam — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 15:21:21 +0000

Friendship in Contrast, was part of a photoshoot in which I joined John Julian for a day in Sweden. The models included Patricja and Anja. Although both were great friends you could see the contrast in their personalities which gave me the idea to click this shot which I have huge artistic value in my mind.

Skeleton of Prisoner in Prague Castle

If you happen to travel to Prague Castle, during the tour you will come across the Jail of the castle. Just at the entrance even visible from the outside, you can see the skeleton of prisoner. This was a very nice glimpse for me as to how well the bones of the prisoners were preserved after all these years.

Dog Protects Homeless Owner

NasarAlam — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 07:32:16 +0000

Once late at night in Milan, I was walking out of the Metro after visiting San Siro. As I was walking out of Metro Station, I saw this sight where this dog stood extremely alert looking out for his owner. This picture gives true meaning to how a dog is a man’s best friend. Indeed, the dog protects homeless owners.

Maman by Louise Bourgeois

NasarAlam — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 23:00:12 +0000

Maman by Louise Bourgeois is a masterpiece of art which was placed right in front of Guggenheim Museam, Bilbao until recently. Maman recently found a new home in Greece and is currently placed at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC).

Maman is the French word for Mother. Bourgeois stated that the work was symbolic of her mother, a weaver and tapestry restorer. With twenty eggs in its abdomen, the sculpture embodies ideas of maternal protection. However, the artist’s relationship with motherhood was ambiguous, contradictory, and complex. Dominating its surroundings and teetering on rangy, segmented legs, Maman also evokes fear and suggests entrapment.

In this picture, Maman is surrounded by fog which was released every night improving the region’s ambience. I took a long exposure shot to give it a much more artistic effect and to help disappear any surrounding people that may make the picture less artsy.
