This photograph was

shot at night with a

fluorescent tubelight as

the light source. This

caused the dark band in

the middle of the image.

Therefore, the project has helped me look at

my own home with fresh eyes.

The Process

I zeroed in on the dirtiest parts of the walls

and then looked for good compositions.

At other times I let the light dictate the

composition. Soon, I realised that diffused

light coming in at an angle, was the best

way to bring out textures and create a nice

gradient. I didn’t move things around. I shot

everything just the way I saw it.

Here, I used a shallow

depth of field to blur

the edge of the table.

It gave the impression

of being shot using a

tilt-shift lens.
