image description of a lovely photograph taken by Shubham Lodha
Roobaniyat- An escapade:Photographer-Shubham Lodha.Director-Abhinav krishnan
This image was taken for my theatre production Roobaniyat in 2012.The photograph was taken by Shubham Lodha. The character on the extreme right was played by me.
The most descriptive element of this image is its simplicity. It is a combination of three images taken at different times in one room. The characters showcased in this image come to life instantly. The black and white tone along with the sunlight promotes the composition and unity of the images, even though taken at different times, they are harmonious. The image represents three different human beings in the crowd of people we see every day. What stands out of the clutter is how these people are different, how each of their expression tells a different story. The greyscale represents different emotions of these three individuals in unison. Conviction, thought and anger are the prime emotions that are brought out in this photograph. If one wishes to question each element of the image one may find answers to unasked questions; that is the level of depth of this image. A photograph can truly be understood if the mood of the photographer is understood, all other interpretations are bound by one’s own spectrum of knowledge. Each frame is a story in itself and what that story in reality is, can only be understood by understanding the photographer as the photograph is his sketch.
They are the architect, the influenced and the motivated.

Some great times doing some great plays with a few very great people.
