The first time when I heard about human psychology been described with
photographs and that too black and white photographs that show the play of
light and shade I had a doubt in my mind as to what I might come
across. I knew that the human psychology is complex. Mere description with
words can hardly bring justice to this subject. Human psychology itself brings
in various topics to talk on. But can this subject be described with
photographs? Can photographs speak on behalf of this huge topic? It was
of-course a debatable subject for me.
‘Life On The Edge’ a black and white collection of photographs clicked
by one of my friends tries to bring this subject on canvas. The
camera catches the various shades and moods of light trying to depict the human
mind. Everyday we come across people, places and situations and we react to
them differently. All these reactions are related to our daily experiences.
These reactions include anger, love, care, friendship and many more. These
reactions brand us and give us our identity. I was mesmerised with
what was showasted in front of me.
The photographs taken by my friend give these situations a wide
spectrum. Through these photographs we can gather the human nature and its
behaviour. He describes them as something that can stimulate a person’s
thought process and allows them to see the thin lines that layer our minds
which are nearly indistinguishable. He captures this manifested subject through
his lens.
