Royapuram fishing harbour, also known as Kasimedu fishing harbour is one of the major fishing grounds and shipbuilding facilities located at Kasimedu in the Royapuram area of Chennai, India. Contained within a small area with 4-5 small lanes around a bustling pier, the place is both densely populated as well as intensely busy. He says, ‘Here I am always trying to find a moment in time detached from the busy pace of business all around, to find a corner of explicit beauty between the squalor of well lived spaces, to find a whiff of life amidst the lifeless fishes that are brought to the harbor…’
‘Kasimedu to me is a place with a character so vibrant that it captures my attention and my heart in an instant every time I go there.’
Sri Udayan Sankar Pal has captured the vibrant coloured homes and lives of the people in his signature style of bold and beautiful! Continue reading KASIMEDU – A fishermen’s village

The most important aspect for a photographer is good light! We see colours due to the presence of light. And when we say light, in terms of photography, we are mostly referring to ‘White light’ that is sunlight which consists of seven colours, in short called VIBGYOR. In order to record all colours truly, most types of photography is done using White Light, even when we use studio lights. During the film era, commonly used colour films had a marking ‘Daylight Type’ which referred to the white light as mentioned. But not many photographers however know that the band of white light that human eyes see is actually a very small portion of spectrum. It is this small range that we can see (from 400 nm to 700 nm approx.) and it is called VISIBLE SPECTRUM, rest is invisible to us. The band of INVISIBLE SPECTRUM extends considerably on both sides of the VISIBLE SPECTRUM. IR (Infrared) band is a similar portion that cannot be seen through naked human eyes but with special photographic material, it can be recorded. It produces very interesting photos both in black & white and colour. There are a lot of technicalities involved in IR Photography.
The presentation will start with images from VISIBLE SPECTRUM gradually progressing from one colour to another and will proceed to images captured using IR Spectrum to produce very different looking Black & White pictures. IR Spectrum photography was done by hardly 4-5 people in India during the 1990s
