in conversation with // MEERA NERURKAR
@vnmeera
•
For Meera Nerurkar, the streets of Düsseldorf are both a subject and a stage, using her camera to engage with its shifting patterns. An ode to spontaneity and serendipity, Meera captures fleeting moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed — gestures, expressions, or quiet moments of humor. By returning to specific locations, Meera immerses herself in a process of visual research, exploring how light, activity, and perspective shift over time. Her images encourage prolonged viewing, prompting an engagement with the mechanics of seeing and the ways in which photography alters perception of space and time.

“For me, light plays a very important role in street photography. Sometimes a whole street setup is interesting and other times the smallest details like an attire, a gesture, a wink or a gaze is enough for me to stay there for getting my shot. Rhythm and a story are very important for me in a photograph.”

Photography and story by Abdulla Shinose CK
@abdulla.shinose
•
Abdulla Shinose CK, an emerging documentary filmmaker and photographer, explores the evolving relationship between tradition and modernity in his work.

In “Clay and Ashes”, Abdulla offers a rare look into a craft at an instable position, where survival depends on both adaptation and the preservation of a fragile but enduring cultural legacy. He turns his lens on Kumhar Gram, a potters’ colony in West Delhi where artisans have shaped clay for generations. This series captures the daily rhythms of a community navigating the pressures of industrialization, environmental regulations, and shifting consumer habits. Each photograph offers a window into the potters’ world revealing both the beauty of their craft and the precarity of its survival.
