Along the Tiruchendur coastline, conch collecting and shell diving continue as shells wash ashore - a quiet livelihood carried forward by coastal fishing communities.

It was a pleasant surprise today to receive copies of my visual essay article from Visual Studies Journal, . It feels perfect and so encouraging. This piece has always been close to my heart.

The you see there was my faithful tool until its charging point failed in 2024. All the photographs in this visual essay were shot using it. The first copy is worth framing.

Thanks to Taylor and Francis Routledge once again. This is so recharging.

I also take this moment to thank .at.apple for the unmatched quality of its camera. I truly see no other device as a research tool the way I see the iPhone. I now use the iPhone full time for my commercial work and most importantly as a research tool. As a photography researcher, I find the iPhone to be an incredible companion in observing, documenting, and understanding visual experience.

I just shot these two photographs while sitting inside an auto, moving through a crowded street. For the first time, I think I have photographed something in Tiruvannamalai, my hometown. That is the challenge I keep talking about. When you stay too close or too relevant to something, you start to overlook many aspects of it. Seeing something that is deeply familiar and still being able to bring out its newness is always a challenge. By newness, I mean that moment when, as a photographer, I feel the scene has revealed something more, something unique.

Some of you on asked me for tips on writing a visual essay, so I wanted to share a bit from my own journey. Writing one for an academic journal can feel overwhelming, especially when crafting a narrative where images and ideas speak together. What helped me was seeing images not as illustrations, but as carrying arguments of their own. Letting intuition guide me, while pausing for reflection, helped me move between being a photographer and a researcher.

These videos are from my documentary project Saamanya Saadhaka, filmed during the second phase of the pandemic lockdown in 2021 at Kashi on an iPhone 7. I am including them to show the emotional and ritualistic rhythms of Kashi, a quieter side of life that underpins the city. Without this rhythm, the bustling streets and everyday interactions would not exist.

Read my visual essay Quiet Resilience, published in Visual Studies ( ), via the link in bio.

And as a bonus at the end, listen to local boatman Bomey Nishad’s spectacular voice. I met him while he was singing to no one in particular, simply enjoying his God-given gift, and I recorded this moment.

Had a wonderful time photographing my friend , a graphic designer and creative consultant. I first met her during my exhibition “Under Eiffel’s Watch – A Parisian Canvas” at , where she had designed the poster for AF’s 45th anniversary. We realised that we share a shared interest in forms, shapes and patterns, and that became the starting point for this series of photographs.

For me, photographing Vanessa was not just about making portraits but about exploring the dialogue between design and photography, how the eye that creates also becomes part of what is created. The frame then holds not only the designer and her work, but also the philosophy of making itself: that creation is never fixed, it continues to shift and open new meanings.

What stayed with me was the sense that even when a work feels complete, there are always new ways to see it, to connect with it, and to let it speak again, through the presence of the person who created it.
