This is my first post in the new year and I hope this year's been giving away its best to everyone as it did to me. I have been busy for last few weeks for my first glamour calendar. Though its my first attempt and am not gonna brag about it, however, this will remain as one of my best experiences. It taught me many a new things and I have come across a variety of people, starting from models, actors, makeup artists, stylists and many more. I have worked hard to keep my standards up, however, was not happy for my own work and dropped few photos behind as they were not at all good. re-shooting was not possible, since this is not a commercial calendar so I had to keep everyone satisfied. Most of the shots were finalized after a gap of several months. E.g. the shots of Mainak, they were shot 7-8 months back during a conceptual shoot. Some were shot keeping the concept of calendar in mind.
There are few shots still left to be finalised and then put on the calendar. I have decided to put this on for selective sale and only to interested people. Also I will distribute few copies to my prospective and old clients. This is to portray my entire year's effort and concept played wild in my mind to come out. Its more like a portfolio calendar for me. I have also thought about the sales part thoroughly. I will sell it and then distribute the profits evenly amongst everyone, who has worked for the calendar. Now it will be upto my viewers, who will decide, whether to buy or bye bye.....
Here's a preview of my 2010 calendar.
Calendar 2010
Forgot to mention that this week I also was busy with my results of Diploma of photography. Its a God's grace that I secured the first position in both the semesters. My hard work gave fruites. When I saw the marks myself, I was so happy, that I couldnt stay still for a while. Hope this gives a boost to my work as well.
