A day in the life of a pretentious photographer
International Photography day is just a few days away (six to be precise), and here is a gallery celebrating a day in the life of a pretentious photographer. Let's face it, we all know one. Photo: Anish Chakraborty- A wise man once said, "You don't 'take' a picture, you 'make' a picture." He was a professional photographer... and so is the guy who took these photos.
- Kudos to the eye behind the lens. There is nothing wrong about this... how do you think we learnt about the birds and the bees.
- 'Photo Man' is the unlikely hero who believes (with all his heart) that EVERYTHING must be 'documented'.
- "This series is not to upset people.It is a light satirical way to show that when people use their DSLR without paying heed to what they take pictures of." Anish Chakraborty
- Or this picture of a calf eating fodder. It is the angle that makes the difference.
- Photography is an 'art'... especially if you own a DSLR. This picture for instance, of a man sleeping in his taxi, is not just a picture of a man sleeping, it has 'depth'.
- If you are friends with a photographer, you'll know what the outcome this slow shutter shot will look like.
- You are probably laughing at this, but we are sure you have all tried this! Clicking pictures of books you've probably never read (and never will) beyond the index.
- Oh! The site of men bathing by the river.... you can't ever get that wrong.
- Love them, hate them, but you can't ignore a 'photographer' right? Especially when they have a zoom lens in your face.
- Presenting (drum roll please)... "Photo Man"! An urban dictionary would describe him as a person with a DSLR and his super power? His fancy DSLR.
- Anish Chakraborty, a student of English literature found poetry in the way photographers track, aim and shoot their prey on a daily basis, and put it out in a series of humorous photos that speak for themselves.
