Platon: Photography
The documentary left a deep impact. It had very touching and relatable moments. The emphasis on capturing the raw moments and experiences made the narrative powerful. When he said 'never allow your tools to dominate the message' said it all. He also mentioned that great design is when all those things take backseat and you get the message. It is truly said that real power lies in simplicity. I marked one thing from the documentary that it's all about 'eyes'. Eyes are vital symbols to convey the message of the picture. Every photo tells a story, it's all about eyes, hands and posture.
I am really touched by the philosophy Platon- the photographer used. Specially the concept of maintaining eye contact with the person and asking them to pour out their emotions. People are often worried about getting a good picture, but photography is all about moments rather than creating the moments.
The picture I chose is special because I am really close to my culture and my god. I love celebrating Indian festivals, and when we celebrate festivals henna is a must. I am very fond of every type of art form, from linear art to mandalas. I have tried all of them and it makes me feels amazing to know all of them. This picture is from the time when I celebrated a festival here for the first time, away from home. I myself drew the henna, it simply made me happy. I think in this picture my eyes are enough to understand how happy I was.
