CHHATTISGARH – A Photo ‘Inception’ Diary

by STREETTROTTER

On the occasion of World Photography Day 2015, I wondered how to compile something out of the blue on StreetTrotter – and as it happens this post came at the right time. So, let me start this article with a confession – ‘When travel photographers and bloggers work behind the camera, they often don’t work straight’. They experiment with twisted shots and contemporary techniques – all in a spirit to capture a place like Chhattisgarh, like never before. Their cameras, be it a treasured i-phone or a hi-tech SLR, all function as their literal eyes that capture certain moments in time forever for them.

Bringing you a picture inside a picture, from the lenses of two crazy nomads together – StreetTrotter and ShutterBug – here comes a scenic story of Chhattisgarh in a candidly crafted ‘Photo Inception Diary‘. Shraddha Gupta who is a die-hard Instagrammer and refuses to click from anything else than her I-phone camera was accompanied by a very professional SLR lover Tinkesh, to click these images during their 7 day trip to the state, across cities and locations.
