Happy Monday ✌🏻,

Join us for the inaugural photo series of the year in India! For the very first time, we will showcase a collection blending vibrant and vivid colors with timeless monochromes. Kaushal Parikh plays like a master with compositions, humor, and backgrounds. It is a breath of fresh air, introducing spontaneity and authenticity to a city that never sleeps.

Having spent two months in India, we can attest that every minute, something unpredictable and exciting was happening during our trip.

Life's a Stage by Kaushal Parikh

These images are tiny, serendipitous moments captured on the ever-performing streets of India.

There is so much going on in the streets that it can often be overwhelming but as your eyes and mind adjust and you start to 'see' rather than just look, that's when the streets start offering up all kinds of magical moments.

Who’s behind the lens?

Describe yourself as a photographer and where you are based

I am a painter and photographer based in Mumbai, India. While I dabble in several genres of photography, my heart remains with 'street' photography which forces me to go out and explore whichever city I am in and 'see' things rather than just look.

Your favorite camera and lens

My current gear is a Leica m10 and 35mm and 28mm lenses.

Your 3 favorite places to shoot

Apart from Mumbai - Kolkata, Varanasi, Fort Cochin.

According to you, what makes a good picture

One that evokes any kind of emotion.

Your favorite photographers and where you get inspired.

I was initially inspired by several photographers and learnt a lot from them. But today I don't look at too much photography - there is just too much content out there. I think I have developed a vision over the last couple of decades and now just enjoy going out and capturing whatever catches my eye in an instinctive manner.
