Capturing the Vibrance of India: The Artistry of an Indian Videographer

India is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and a rich tapestry of colors and emotions. To capture the essence of this incredible nation, an Indian videographer plays a pivotal role. Their lens is a gateway to the mesmerizing sights, sounds, and stories that India has to offer. In this article, we'll explore the world of Indian videography, the role of an Indian videographer, and the captivating moments they encapsulate.

The Essence of Indian Videography

Indian videography is a multifaceted art form that thrives in a nation celebrated for its myriad of experiences. It encompasses a wide range of subjects, from cultural celebrations and landscapes to human interactions and day-to-day life. An Indian videographer is tasked with preserving the beauty, history, and diversity of India through their lens.

The Role of an Indian Videographer

Cultural Interpreter: India is a nation of cultural diversity, with each region having its unique traditions, festivals, and practices. An Indian videographer must be a cultural interpreter, understanding and respecting the intricacies of the culture they are capturing.

Storyteller: Videographers in India are storytellers at heart. They have a knack for weaving a narrative through the visuals they capture. Whether it's a documentary, travel vlog, or a wedding video, the videographer's goal is to convey a compelling story.

Visual Poet: India is a visual paradise. An Indian videographer is like a poet who uses their camera to capture the lyrical beauty of the landscapes, architecture, and people. They transform ordinary scenes into visual poetry.

Technical Wizard: To capture the vibrant scenes in India, videographers need to be technical wizards. They must have a good grasp of camera equipment, lighting, composition, and post-production techniques to enhance the final product.

The Captivating Moments of Indian Videography

Festivals: India is known for its exuberant festivals, and videographers play a crucial role in bringing these celebrations to life on screen. Whether it's the dazzling lights of Diwali, the colorful processions of Holi, or the spiritual fervor of Kumbh Mela, Indian videographers capture the magic of these events.

Landscapes: From the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the pristine beaches of Goa and the vast deserts of Rajasthan, India's diverse landscapes are a visual treat. Videographers frame these landscapes in all their natural beauty, showcasing the country's geographical diversity.

Cuisine: Indian cuisine is a world of flavors and aromas. An Indian videographer may capture the street food vendors, the bustling markets, or the artistry of a chef's culinary skills, bringing the culinary delights of India to the screen.

Traditions: Videographers play a vital role in documenting traditional practices and rituals that are passed down through generations. Whether it's a wedding ceremony in a small village or a religious procession in a temple, videographers help preserve these traditions.

Choosing the Right Indian Videographer

Selecting the right videographer for capturing the essence of India is a critical decision. Here are some factors to consider:

Portfolio: Review the videographer's portfolio to get a sense of their style and creativity. Look for experience in the specific type of videography you need, whether it's travel videos, cultural documentaries, or wedding videography.

Budget: Determine your budget and find a videographer who can provide quality services within your financial constraints.

Reputation: Research the videographer's reputation by reading reviews and testimonials from previous clients. This will give you insight into the quality of their work and their professionalism.

Cultural Sensitivity: Given India's diverse culture, it's important that the videographer is culturally sensitive and knowledgeable about the specific region or community they are capturing.

Communication: Ensure that the videographer is easy to communicate with and receptive to your ideas and preferences.

Kalyani Lodhia - Visionary Explorer - A Freelance Photographer, Biologist, and Wildlife Filmmaker Uncovering Nature's Marvels.

In her own words:

“Hi! I'm Kalyani, a freelance photographer, biologist and wildlife filmmaker, born and raised in the city of Leicester, what felt like miles away from the countryside and the outdoors. 

With no role-models or influences in my life to steer me to the natural world, it's a mystery to my whole family how I ended up loving the outdoors and everything in it, but somehow I did. 

My love for nature fuelled me to pursue a BSc at the Royal Veterinary College where I studied a whole range of aspects of animal biology; from anatomy and physiology to behaviour and evolution. My research into kangaroo biomechanics and limb bone scaling was part of a paper published in the Royal Society Open Science in 2018. I then completed my MSc at Imperial College London, where I fell in love with science communication and story telling.

I first picked up a camera at 19 years old when my parents sent me to live in an ashram for 6 months (of course, as a teenager, I wasn't too thrilled at the prospect initially) and that's how I accidentally got into, and got hooked on, photography. I am self-taught and now specialise in travel and wildlife photography.

I love exploring the world, often travelling solo, and learning about different cultures beyond stereotypes. Having Indian heritage, I have a deep understanding of the need to look beyond imperialist and colonialist generalisations and I am able to truly connect with people around the world.

As a biologist, there's something so incredibly special about seeing the most breathtaking animals in their natural habitat and experiencing the sheer magnitude and magic of the world around us.

I have been fortunate enough to have been to the Kumbh Mela, the largest gathering of people on Earth, the forests of Finland to photograph brown bears and the depths of the South African ocean, surrounded by thousands of hammerhead sharks.

My photography work has been featured by UNICEF and the BBC and I have had the opportunity to have worked for Parmarth Niketan Ashram and Light for the World. I have also had footage featured on BBC AutumnWatch and one of my photographs was selected for the long list of the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. I work full time as a freelancer on science and wildlife documentaries, where I am currently working as a researcher for the BBC's Natural History Unit on a landmark natural history series for National Geographic.”

THE DAILY PIC: Today’s image is “Shalu, Manisha, Rishika” (2020) by the French photographer Guillaume Zicarelli. It’s part of a project being featured at Perotin gallery in New York, in which Zicarelli presents photos and a short documentary about the transgendered women, known as “Kinnars,” who have recently been invited to participate as holy figures, “sadhus,” in the sacred Kumbh Mela festival in India. The documentary, titled “The Holy Third Gender: Kinnar Sadhus” and shot on the festival site, is especially potent and touching, because we get to hear the Kinnars themselves talk about what they’ve been through. Their formal acceptance into the festival clearly means things are looking up, but reading between the lines, it’s also clear that there is still a long way to go before they get fully accepted into society. In India, acceptance of the Kinnars has involved defining them as a new “Third Gender” rather than thinking of them as women who were born as men; granting them a status as “sadhus” also describes them as Other. 

Yet one of the Kinnar sadhus in Zicarelli’s video says that her fondest hope is to find a joe job to work at.

Juna Akhara, Haridwar. India Throwback to 2010, the second time I attended the Kumbh Mela and this was the big one. I spent three days mostly accompanied by these Naga babas. The one on the left, Makradwaj giri was an extremely kind and English speaking sadhu from Pali region in Rajasthan and he let me go around with him, stay at their tent and show me very interesting yoga techniques. There's a morale in my story, let me tell you. I should have listened to him more carefully and follow his advice. I came there to photograph the most important bath of the pilgrimage in the Ganges and I've been through a lot of struggle just even to pass the security gates and get to the Akhara that day (well it was 2am), but getting to the ghats was another thing. I went first to the tent and the babas were here. Makradwaj giri advised me to stay with him and not go to the main ghat for the most holy bath, it was too crazy, too crowded. But me being me, stubborn and so close to my objective, decided to go anyway.. I got stuck on a bridge over the Ganges during a stampede. I thought it was the end, if you haven't been in a stampede you can't imagine how your body and your lungs can be squeezed to the point where you can't breathe anymore. Several people died on that bridge, I read it later on the newspaper. I missed everything and got no shots of the royal bath, I was only lucky to get out of there alive and even surprised that my camera survived the stampede as well. Anyway, I just wanted to share my story behind a picture for once. A special one explaining why I came back from the Maha Kumbh Mela without the momentum shots you can see on the Internet. And why you should always listen to local people who know what's going on. #india #portrait #travel #photographer #lifelessons #uttarakhand #kumbhmela #marjilang #hindu #hinduism #baba #sadhu #documentary #indianphotography #indiapictures #travelblogger #travelindia #religion #portraitshoot #portrait_perfection #portrait_shots #portraitmood #makeportraits #rsa_portraits #profile_vision #pursuitofportraits #makeportraitsnotwar #makeportraitsmag #earth_portraits #majestic_people https://ift.tt/2wTpgBK

Aghora: at the left hand side of God,

This book is not meant for all spiritual seekers, only those who have basic knowledge of Aghora should try to explore this book. A few years before, I came across one documentary which was shown on National Geographic Channel, it was about Kumbh Mela and Aghoris. There the anchor of that show tried to shoot one Aghori and his way of life. In that show, Aghori did one trick which amazed the westerner anchor and the viewers of that show. He tied 5 red bricks worth approx 20 kg on his testes and he walked like it was nothing. That Aghori was a skinny man with much less than 150 pounds of weight. After seeing that show I’m pretty sure these Aghori people are not ordinary men they are people with some mystic powers. I now know pretty much about the Aghori people and the things they are capable of. So after reading this book I felt not much wonder or surprise. If one reads this book with less knowledge of Aghori even if he/she is a spiritual person will think the content is a bunch of lies of some spiritual man. But actually, it is not, that's why I’m repeatedly saying do not read if you do not know who Aghori is.

Coming back about the book, Robert E Svoboda, the author, is more specific about the content in every chapter. The way of writing and his English is pretty amazing. We will get an in-depth knowledge of the beliefs and how Aghora Sadhanas different from normal Sadhanas which are practiced by the spiritual leaders that we know. As the book name suggests, ‘at the left hand of God’, that is the Aghori way. Normally spiritual leaders say about positive energy and peace. But Aghoris are just opposite to that, it is not the ‘Right hand’ way, it is the ‘Left hand’ path to spirituality. But the teachings are all the same. It is all about the ultimate god who owns this world, the creator, but the approach is different. From this book, we will get a clear understanding of who Aghoris are. They are not only spiritual gurus, they are god, the proper manifestation of Lord Shiva. This book is not a biography, it is an experience of a spiritual god, Vimalananda. He says, "Live Life to the Fullest", without any Fear. The word Aghora/Aghori itself is ‘non-terrifying’.

The largest gathering of humans on Earth occurs every 12 years in India

In January, an estimated 120 million people gathered at the confluence of three holy rivers in India: the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythical Sarasvati. The occasion was the Kumbh Mela, a historic Hindu pilgrimage that occurs just once every 12 years.

The pilgrimage is widely considered to be the largest gathering of humans on Earth (and can even be seen from space).

“The scale is really something that can’t be captured—it has to be experienced,” filmmaker Jeremy Snell told The Atlantic.

He tried anyway, and the results are astounding. Earlier this year, Snell traveled to Prayagraj and Varanasi, in India, to film “Pilgrims,” a short documentary that depicts the Kumbh Mela in striking 16-mm film.

“My approach was to look for faces and scenes that exemplified an enactment of faith,” Snell said.

Watch “Pilgrims” at The Atlantic.
