Indomie Instant Noodles
This shoot of Indomie Noodles was quite a challenge we me and my food stylist had create shapes for banners and normal display of instant noodles for packaging. Firstly the gentleman (Indian) who came from Nigeria brought one or two packets of instant noodles of his company. After assigning the project after briefing he got busy taking time off to catch with family and friends. He asked us to use Maggie noodles. Perhaps we also erred on using the accompanied taster (if I quite remember) and it has Turmeric while people do not use Turmeric in Nigeria. I tried to a few shots for his approval as he wanted but his response was far too late. I had charged the shoot for four days and hired food stylist for the same. The food stylist was really cool and did not say anything when we went the agreed days.

The Nigerians are crazy about their game of football and they wanted that we create a football shape in the plate. They had some shoot executed by some photographer as he shared images but the shape of football was a far cry from the real shape. Lucky she was going through some sessions of art & sketching. We bought a plate that was sprayed black. She drew the hexagons and pentagons. Since instant noodles have quite a lot of liquid, so this liquid was supposed to be stopped flowing into the center of the plate. Well I was aware of the trick to stop it flowing over by using transparent glue kind of stuff to create a dyke. We carefully filled the cooked Instant Noodles into the areas. Since it was to be finally cut out and placed on some background by their agency, we kept the background plain and simple.

Creating shapes was quite demanding but it being creative it was fun to make. As already mentioned we kept background simple and plain as these were required to be cut out for final art work

Figure Art Photography

Figure Art Photography

Some special treatment in editing software


One Delhi model contacted me for a shoot. She as she told me that she is doing a lot of figure art shoots with many photographers. We did a photoshoot together very recently and a few results that I could work on though there are quite some more that need attention to edit.

Please leave your comments for encouragement.

Private commissions - Consider an artwork of yourself whether it be a gift for a loved one or for future reflection of your past glory of beautiful body. You can choose to have your own ideas incorporated, in a studio or at a location. The whole experience will take place in an environment that is artistic, tasteful, safe and confidential. Charges will be discussed in personal meeting.


Want to be my Muse as a model on my personal projects??
Muse: One of the nine ancient Greek goddesses who each represented a particular art or science.
Muse is a goddess that inspires a creative artist. The source of an artist's inspiration. A guiding spirit.
There comes a time when a photographer needs before his camera for further explorations, development and advancing his photographic sighting projects with a long term Muse, who has an understanding and passion for creativity.
I am in search of such attractive female/s between 20 -30 (to 35) years with a good figure for collaboration on mutual talent exchange basis for artistic nude/semi nude figure modelling. A reasonably bold minded female / female model would be a better preference. The best would of course be ballet dancer or dancer as they know how to stretch and hold the body for creative posing. Officially under age females should avoid approaching for such mutual collaboration.
For posing, we would work mainly in some tender and moody portraits, may be some semi nudes/nudes (anonymity will be maintained in such shoots of body exposure). There will be NOTHING even near to pornographic images. The shoots will take place on mutual convenient times and in environment that is artistic, tasteful, safe and confidential. I could share a few hard prints with the model collaborating on such projects. With promising models I am also open to shooting a portfolio or few images for their wall display in exchange after the artistic shoot or on another day mutually agreed. For such a shoot model needs to organise wardrobe/clothing/accessories/shoes, etc. I will be providing soft copies of this portfolio shoot along with a proper presentation in soft form on CD/DVDs.
I would require a hand written consent letter "that you contacted me for the artistic nudes shoot and you are doing it of your own free will. At no time at behest of anyone initiate any legal actions and would keep me safe from such issues" This is the central idea or essence of the letter.
A government issued identification with reference to age. I am open to your bringing along a non interfering person for the shoot.

Please Email me with your stats, height and a full length and mid shot photographs so that we can move on from there.  Please let me know if you are a resident of Delhi/NCR or some other city,
