Street Duets

For this project, I decided to photograph and document a street near Dairy Cross, Yelahanka. My interest in street photography grew when I realised that its importance lies in the raw nature of its subjects. I have observed that normally people put on various masks to conceal their real identity due to the fear of judgement. But street photography can break these barriers and help portray their true selves. Some of my inspirations include great contemporary street photographers like Eric Kim, Paul Bence and Stan Raucher, who are all working with street portraiture, my main field of interest. Moreover, I have also been inspired by classic street specialists like Henri-Cartier Bresson, Robert Frank and so on.
In a two week period, I have frequently visited this street, at almost all times of the day and clicked hundreds of photographs. This has really helped me understand the place, at its core. I really saw how a street has so much going on while we walk by everyday, unaware and indifferent. This series is made out of my explorations and observations.
