Q&A: Breaking rules of conventional photography
City-based photographer Surya Chidambaram speaks about iPhonegraphy, an exhibition of his works from photobook at the Lalit Kala Akademi from December 2 to 4.
Chennai
What is iPhonegraphy?Â
iPhonegraphy is the art of creating photos with an iPhone, where the images have been both shot and processed on the iOS device. The idea of iPhone photography challenges the stereotyped concept of photography with pictures taken by someone with a big camera and an even bigger lens. It is a new, fresh idea of capturing moments at your convenience. It breaks down the rules set for photography and shows people that the art is all about the moment, the talent and the artist’s point of view. It’s about the skill and passion, not the brand or size of the instrument.
What are your photos centred around?Â
Photos help me put my thoughts across better than words ever have. Every photo I take has a story to it and manages to lock up the emotions of my subject in a single frame. My photobook contains a glimpse of Europe through my eyes. This is just the first of my ‘World Series’ and there is a lot more to come.
