excerpt
—
Talented Calcutta based photographer Anushree Bhatter approached me to help her film a video introduction for her application to a master's program in Europe. She had already written the first draft of a reflective text which was the starting point. A few sleepless nights, discussions, and re-edits later, she was ready with a poignant text which we decided to use as a script for the video.
Together we co-conceptualised the video and decided to visualise her life using photographs from her family album—to convey her decade long experience as a photographer. After going through several albums, I edited and curated the photos. I supported the narration with shots of her working and then ended the video with a piece to camera to make her relatable and credible. The entire project was conceptualised, shot, edited, and delivered in a week.
