As always we had a delightful experience to be a part in the concept shoot “Seeing Perfection In Imperfections” created by Abhishek Goswami. In our magazine we have the grace to work very frequently with “The Vision Master” who believes in creating original concepts for every shoot. The pictures that he designs always has a deep understanding of philosophy to exhibit in all of his artworks be it painting, photography or film making. He is a very talented artist and he has an in-depth knowledge and skills to visually portray any subject. The photographic techniques that he uses in creating an eye & soul pleasing outcome are awesome.

I’m really blessed to see, talk and understand about the story boards that he created for this concept shoot. It was a learning and life changing experience for me. This shows his dedication involved in creating the best possible outcome in his artwork. All of his artworks are like a package of knowledge and wisdom. We can really learn so much about Philosophy and The Art of Living from his creations. I have seen and worked with a lot of photographers but working with Abhishek has always been the best experience. His artworks always focus on the understanding of The Art of Living, always guides us to grow and become a better version of ourselves. Hope that you will feel the same after reading the following conversation with Abhishek Goswami.

As per our readers I would like to understand the pre-production process that you go through to create the best outcome in your photographs.

When this whole idea came into my mind, I created few storyboards to represent it or let say to record it immediately in visual form randomly I was focused on the very subject and planned a way to capture the relevant images via photography techniques

As per the storyboards , I decided to hire the required models and searched for the appropriate ones The art direction started from creating storyboards and deciding the applicability of props, outfits and makeup.

What are the technical aspects involved to showcase two different possible perceptions of someone for the same subject in a still visual?

Method and technique we used today was Long exposure with two time firing of flashes and using two different focal lengths each time with in the given exposure time range While models had to perform two different poses and expression as per the theme and composition with in the given same exposure time range We were using zoom lenses and multiple synced flashes for appropriate lighting as per the requirement for the specific theme of the given image

In all your photographs I have experienced that a deep philosophy is involved. How do you visualize to represent such deep thoughts and create such beautiful pictures ? And how will you explain the title for this concept “seeing perfection in IMPERFECTIONS “ ?

I always try to represent a set of philosophy in my captures, to express more and more out of an image Concept was to represent two possible contrasting perceptions of Someone for a same subject.Here subject is a person of course. It’s all about the way of love and acceptance one can pursue in his or her life An ability to perceive things in a positive and progressive way

And all of it depends upon the viewer that what he or she wants to see Here the philosophical idea is that everyone have same divine energy or we can say a pure soul with in, no matter how imperfect the outer presence they have; but the key is to develop the ability to see things in such perfect way.

That’s why , I termed the concept as “ seeing perfection in IMPERFECTIONS “ It’s all about the Awakened inner eye

Lights have to be precisely placed and directed perfectly as the two different postures . The models had to perform precisely as per the location spot , changes in posture & expression with in the given exposure time range.

Precise change in focal length using zoom lenses as per the desired composition with in the given exposure time range
