Candid Camera: “Contrasts”

Verve’s online ‘Candid Camera’ series showcases moving images that tell a story. Bengaluru-based Hema Narayanan shoots contrasts

Concept “Contrasts co-exist in this world. Time flies past. My concept was to blend these two aspects and show how with time, people change or age and how contrasts are a reality.”

Subject “These are two Buddhist women, who sat beside each other at the Hemis Monastery of Leh (Ladakh). With deep thoughts and a distant gaze, they looked intently at the Hemis festival unfolding in front of them.”

Moving Image “I deciphered it as two people next to one another – affected by the passage of time. One is a young and strong woman, dreaming for the years ahead and another, an old and fragile woman, wondering what the future will hold.
