Aman Raj puts in a lot of thought before pressing the shutter release on his camera. Fascinated by people and what goes inside their minds, he is drawn towards portraiture. This interest gave birth to his project 'What I look at.'

"In this series I have shot diverse, beautiful souls to convey my idea wherein I have tried to juxtapose two pictures side by side. These pictures are paired keeping in mind the element of colour, texture and light. I feel the surrounding as well as the person’s portrait speaks volumes about life, moments and experiences. Be it a light coming from a leaf or light falling on the lovely spring flowers.
'What I Look at’ is an effort to remove a mask which the world carries with presumptions and ignorance. I take my inspiration from philosopher Plato’s analogy of cave," elaborates Aman.

Less than 10 hours remain for the opening of Photopia 2018 at the MF Hussain Art Gallery, Jamia Millia Islamia. The exhibition will be on display till May 12, the timings for all the three days being 10 am to 6 pm
We hope to see you all there today!
