City of photos, Dir. Nishtha Jain.

[dhrupad]

Nishtha Jain in her documentary City Of Photos takes a journey with her viewers to photo studios in Calcutta and Ahmedabad to understand what people seek in their pictures and what the age old tradition of being photographed signifies. Ordinary people in pictures that she explores begin to seem like artists projecting themselves as an idea, experiencing with sensuality the world of their desires which exists ahead of their ability to fully comprehend it. The edgy existence of unmade mental images with crisp memories translates into portraits that become a strong edifice of the cities, and their social history. They are also symbols of the dignity and pathos that harmoniously co exist in the human life, so boundlessly capable of imaginings and so hopelessly bound by shortcomings. The photographs in this film are not high art but when looked into they bear testimony that a good photograph is about depth of feeling, not field. 

These photographs transcend their reality but do not deny it. They are the one opportunity to outlive even death but might just as well bear witness to how much is lost. In the sudden joy of a lover united with his beloved by photoshop lurks the shadow of a doomed romance. These documents accurately record age, fashion and expression against backdrops which fictionalize the cityscape and ameliorate its harsh realities. Their invaluable role in marriages, travel, evidence and death is duly acknowledged but they achieve their full potential in providing a world, delicious with desirable “sin” for women who indulge in their hobby of being photographed as their only escape from preordained mundane destinies. Jain’s tribute to these still images in motion picture, an irony she consciously emphasizes, is enhanced by humour, nostalgia and surrealism. The film is approached emotionally but does not lack intellectual fervor or study. The psychological and social aspects of photography and the ability of its history to become a commentary on the way we are, surface strongly but quietly.

It is in its ambiguity and subtlety that the film triumphs. The mood captures the romance and morbidity of the subject under consideration and the narrative and soundtrack sift the layers gently. Someone once said, “Every picture has at least two people in it, the subject and the photographer”. The filmmaker is similarly palpable in this documentary. Instead of dishing out a presumptuous treatise on photography, Jain simply captures what fascinates her personally and presents it such that we might be able to see bits of our own selves in it. She respects the ambivalence of the concept at hand and does not bother with sharpness which Henri Cartier-Bresson once called a “bourgeois concept”. Strong tensions between the pleasurable and disturbing pervade the film as they do our lives and aesthetic orders and by allowing them their space and expression, the filmmaker celebrates all three.

The 'BW Disrupt 30 Under 30', a jury-led initiative, celebrates a community of innovative and influential young leaders who are changing the course of businesses.

The two-phased judging process was preceded by an outreach to over 1000+ young achievers. More than 150 nominations were received, of which 75 were shortlisted following an initial screening. These were presented to a jury board that was chaired by Manu Jain, Global Vice President, Xiaomi & Managing Director, Mi India and Co-Chaired by angel investor and business strategist, Lloyd Mathias.

The winning list included seven intrapreneurs and 23 entrepreneurs. While tech-led products and services did have an edge, sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, and the likes that had stood out during the crisis year also featured among the winners.

City of Photos (Nishtha Jain, 2005)

The textured history of photography's imbrication in consumer culture, state initiatives, scientific interest, and commercial exploitation, and the changing meanings and uses of the apparatus (from toy to science to commercial service) show the periodic reinvention and recalibration of the technology itself, as well as its meanings. The cinema, the next chapter will contend, needs to be understood along similar lines.

What postscripts may we add to this early-twentieth-century history of photography? One can reasonably surmise that the hand camera did little in overall terms to curtail the power of the photo-studio in catering to the need for vernacular and domestic photographs. Over the past decade, "cybercafes" set up with refurbished personal computers armed with web cameras, and cell phones also armed with cameras, have, in varied ways, made possible personalized practices of image production and circulation. It seems that photographic history in colonial and postcolonial India bypassed an entire stage, that of the Kodak camera and the personal snapshot, in favor of a continuation of a patronage-based culture of image production and consumption, at the center of which lies the photo-studio, from which it frog-leapt to the age of the smart phone.

But such an account misses the complexity of photography's engagement with other media. In chapter 4, I want to propose that we do pay some attention to the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century hand camera if only because the hand camera intersects both with developments in print culture and with the cinema in the genre of photojournalism. Nearer to our moment, Chris Pinney (1997) demonstrates the photographic medium's overlap with videocassettes and local cable TV networks in 1990s India. While video became de rigueur as medium of record for important occasions such as weddings, the absence of Video Cassette Players in most houses resulted in a reliance on the local cable TV operator to air the wedding for occasional family gatherings. Only on such occasions would the videocassette, dusted off its place in a cabinet, realize its efficacy, since the video technology was not at hand. At the same time, the aesthetic of video recordings remained profoundly photographic—the video program comprised superimpositions and dissolves of hieratic poses for the video camera including photomontages of still images of the wedded couple. In such an instance of a new technological interface, people continued to rely on the local and linked expertise of the photo-studio, the videographer and the cable TV operator.

As Nishtha Jain's 2005 documentary City of Photos similarly reveals, the availability of digital cameras and new imaging software such as Photoshop reinforced the dominance of photo-studios, as studios replaced actual painted backdrops with digital ones customized for clients' needs on the personal computer. In both McDougall's and Jain's documentaries, we find that it is popular cinema that provides the most enduring and popular tropes and imaginations of performing Identity for clients in photo-studios, as backdrops (painted or Photoshopped) mimic the mise-en-scène of a Hindi film song and clients dress in movie costumes and the studio cameraman accordingly obliges them.

OCTOBER : SECOND WEEK

Hello guys I am back again

so the last week was not very good or happening we did not do much of a paper or practical work but we had only one job of finalising the actors for the film and which was not easy at all because of the pandemic outbreak people were resistant to go out. so it was a very tedious task but somehow we managed and we finalised four actors and I am really thankful to all of them two agree to act in our film in these tough time.

Our lead in this film is Kushagra Jain who is acting playing the role of Ayub Rasool.

For the part of the interrogator we have chosen Yogya Rajpurohit.

And for two murder victims we have chosen Hasvini Jain and Nishtha Jain.

That was it for now see you guys next week till then take care!!

OCTOBER WEEK 2 - PRODUCTION

This week we got confirmations from 2 actors for one of our gruesome sequences - Hasvini Jain and Nishtha Jain.

And we shot the sequence. It was a rather simple and short sequence, Ayub is walking over the dead bodies of two females that he murdered and the frame shows the dead bodies. 

The challenge was makeup. We contacted our friend Surbhi Bhansali who is a talented makeup artist, and got the makeup done.

^ This is what Hasvini and Nishtha looked like after the makeup.

The shoot was a challenge for me too, as I was the one handling the cameras and I borrowed a DJI Ronin SC gimbal from our school, but had little knowledge on how to use it. So we had to sit and learn how to use it from YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa5qpjp24C4

This video helped us out a lot on how to use the gimbal.

^ Me trying to balance the gimbal.

I took longer than expected, but a major part of the shoot was complete.
