This is a great series! My favorite is the first one! I really like the colours, the red lips and the greenish background! Very interesting idea!

~ As the water falls down, so too, do the walls of inhibition. Lovely, unique approach and beautiful collection of portraits. Congratulations Manjari.

I’ve been on hiatus from BuRN for a minute, but what a beautiful welcome back. This are stunning portraits. So intimate, and the light…the light is wonderful. There’s such a tenderness and calmness and a respect and a trust that comes through. I feel calm and refreshed simply from witnessing these moments. Simply beautiful portraits.

Hey you all, tuning in to thank your generous comments again. Just wanted to share another incoming link Also another great spot for submission. UK based magazine called Deep Sleep Magazine. Their issue 4 just came out and the Theme is Memory. The shower series was selected as a body of work for this issue. Its an incredibly well designed magazine, they have a great selection from my series and other work. And the opener statement before the photo stories begin is beautiful. Here are a couple lines that hot home with me instantly. It’s a great read and like I said incredible pictures follow the thoughts. So enjoy!

Memory has a spottiness”, wrote John Updike, “as if the film was sprinkled with developer instead of immersed in it”. Geoff Dyer said: “A photograph from the war is also a photograph of the way the war will come to be remembered. it is a photograph of the future, of the future’s view of the past”. The same can be said of any picture: in capturing a scene or moment for posterity, we influence forever the way in which that scene or moment will be remembered.

Just an amazing set of portraits. the intimacy is phenomenal. The portraits are a witness to people at their most vulnerable. Portraiture doesn’t really aspire to be anything but. I couldn’t even begin to imagine asking people to photograph them in my shower. Wonderful work.

I like the pictures, a very good job under a technical point of view. Though I must say I do not fully appreciate the concept: beyond the fact that the photographer convinced a number of people to pose in his shower, I do not see anything but a series of very good portraits in which intimacy emerges only under a formal point of view, not an empathic one. But, well, that’s probably good enough in the end… ;-)

Thanks so much for the responses and criticism. Just wanted to include a couple other links on the work. Aline Smithson is the brainchild for Lensscratch which is one of the premier photo blogs of our times and also has excellent readership. I thought it would be good to share the link and also the possibility for you all to submit some works to Aline for consideration if you’d like. Here is the link

Also Mannuel Linnenschmidt runs an online magazine called KameraKunstMagazin. Mannuel so kindly included some of my work in Isssue 3 (you’ll have to flip a few e-pages though). It has about 90.517 readers!

Wanted to share my links and of course two more intriguing portals to share and show your work.

Gorgeously ghostly. Beautiful creatures all. Absolutely arresting.

Who needs painting when you can have photography like this? I’m awe struck.
