Kirtana Krishnan is a long time friend, musician, artist, and an immensely talented person in general. I met Kirtana in my 1st year of junior college at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.


After graduating college, Kirtana went on to start her own, successful business. She started painting custom designs and artwork on canvas shoes and then moved on to painting guitars, walls, and just about any interesting surface she could find.


I had the opportunity in my last few months in Mumbai to catch up with her and photograph some of the work she had been doing at that time. The logo for her brand 'Shoeriken Custom Shoes' is designed by Chitrang Panchal, another very talented person, and a very good friend of 6 years.


Kirtana also maintains an interesting blog by the name of Ink. Click here to go to Kirtana's Blog.

QUICK POST: THAT WARM AND FUZZY NIKON FEELING

"My camera pays my bills and keeps me warm. It shows me colours and patterns I would have otherwise ignored. It helps me explore and see the world in a new way. My camera is my baby. I will protect it with me life."

CANON PIXMA SOUND SCULPTURES: BRINGING COLOUR TO LIFE

Canon Pixma: Bringing colour to life from Dentsu London on Vimeo.

The Canon Pixma is a range of printers from Canon which guarantee photolab-quality printing. The printers use a seperate grey ink to get stunning prints in both greyscale and colour. Other features of the Pixma range include Full HD Movie Print allowing you to print stills and photographs directly from your HD movies, an improved Wi-Fi interface, and an improved Creative Park Premium which is Canon's online service for downloading calendars, greetings cards, models and 3D paper art.

The ad in particular uses sound waves generated by small speakers to launch drops of paint into the air, thereby creating beautiful and stunning patterns. The concept for the ad is brilliant, giving new meaning to the phrase 'bringing colour to life' and generating interest in printing in an age where most photo sharing is done online through the internet.

THREE'S COMPANY

Three's Company, originally uploaded by photoholic_royd.

I am slowly getting back to blogging. I have a large collection of images that I have not shared so I felt like getting started and putting my recent work up there. This is an image I took at a fashion show in Mumbai, India. I love this image because of the hair of the models, they way they are positioned within the frame and the subtle green light that is hitting the audience members in the foreground.
