LIGHT AND SHADE

Photographer Iman Sengupta's photography turns everyday moments into picturesque visuals

- PANKIL JHAJHRIA

PHOTOGRAPHER Iman Sengupta's works make ordinary moments from everyday appear as clusters of magic - children on a bus, people waiting at a train station, sunlight casting dark shadows, or a woman feeding pigeons on a dusty afternoon.

Sengupta's first solo show in monochrome, 'In Plain Sight', was recently on view at Delhi's India International Centre (IIC) Annexe.

Sengupta majored in contemporary arts in Bengaluru. He later moved to Singapore to pursue his master's at Lasalle College of the Arts. "I was very enamoured by how artists present their ideas and works," he remarks. "And I realised that the country I was born in isn't entirely taking advantage of what its people can do in fine arts."
