Studies in Black and White

BY Priyadarshi Patnaik

“I love light and shade, shadows, and they come out best in monochrome. I try to dramatize everyday objects, small rituals, the daily routine of life. Isolated, framed and cropped, they often surprise us with their newness.”

— Priyadarshi Patnaik
