Searching For A Muse - Pravin Talan


Fashion photography is a mould in which many a photographers’ talent has gotten trapped, labeled, made predictable. No so for Pravin Talan. With his deep set eyes searching for an ever elusive muse, and his towering personality, you’d be forgiven for thinking that he is a poet. For he does capture poetry in motion. After having dabbled in this and that, and that and this for a change, he is now quite comfortably reunited with his first love – Photography.
I love Pravin’s pictures for the visual textures and unusual themes. He captures the essence of his subjects, rather than just posing them against a pretty background. And then, he adds a twist. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. For more of Pravin’s pictures, visit his facebook profile by clicking here

Sorry, it must have gotten to my school, but not my mailbox yet. I'll let you know when I get it.

No kidding--I would not have imagined any of these to be the work of a fashion photographer. Thanks for sharing his work.

The rural woman peering from the rooftop is one of the most inspired pictures I've seen.
