Chitrakari's photostream |

Main interests include researching and documenting Indian/Punjabi culture, history, traditions and faiths in various guises. Love to travel, captivated by creation and mesmerised by natural beauty.
Thank you to sarboo for the Pro Account.
If you wish to use my photos for any means, please ask permission. Photographs are available to purchase - drop me an email for the details. Proceeds go to charity!
NB:
As a consequence of various morons/blithering idiots on the net (including Flickr) stealing my photographs and utilising them in publications/websites/blogs/forums, I have had to watermark my photographs. I can only apologise for this - for those who appreciate aesthetics of photography.

"Browsing through Nihang Teja Singh's photostream one will be immediately aware this is indeed a very competent photographer offering content that is far from the norm. Displaying both a creative flair with an eye, and a fine expert technique for picture making.
Nihang Teja Singh, would appear to be equally competent with either colour or making his images in monochrome. His fresco work is beautifully captured with an expert use of colour balance and contrast, whilst his monochrome portraiture work really stands out as something rather different.
It is perhaps the latter, his black and white monochrome work, that is personally the most appealing. Not only for its superb technical perfection, with a full tonal range and outstanding contrast, but also for the extraordinary character studies depicted in his wonderful portraits.
Coming from where I do. I am not exposed to such culture as so expertly recorded by, Nihang Teja Singh. It is therefore not only an enlightenment to view such a culturally rich content but also a personal inspiration to view such a masterful photostream. So this is Flickr's at its very best, a place to be exposed to the work of others and content that is so richly diversifying from the normal daily fodder. This is what Nihang Teja Singh offers his fellow Flickrites, and his photostream is certainly in many respects worth the viewing.
Thank you for sharing this body of work and I look forward to any new works in the future."18th April, 2007

"I stumbled across Chitrakari's photos one day and i haven't felt the same since ... The portraits he captures have so much raw emotion and depth emanating from them that i am very often dumbstruck, they take my breath away!! It's not very often that a photo really makes you *feel* but Chitrakari's portraits have that effect on me everytime i view them ... Thankyou for sharing your world with us ..."

"If it’s possible to capture the ethereal souls of people and places with the clumsy materials of man, then surely Chitrakari is a member of that talented minority to have achieved it.
His work goes further than simply inspiring in me a desire to meet those characters and visit those places – I feel as if I have already been in their presence, and walked amongst their shadows. Truly excellent! I look forward to going on many more such journeys in the future. :o)"3rd April, 2007

"Nihang Teja Singh seems to have a blessed way with the portraits - they are all unique, intensely expressive, alluring and most importantly appear rich in stories. His work is really commendable!
I hope to see a lot more from you :)"2nd April, 2007

"The unique aspect of Chitrakari's photography is more than the excellent creative photography that he brings it is the depth of knowledge that accompanies the photographs in the captions to these fabulous images."

"Chitrakari covers a wide variety of subject matter involving Indian culture from Hindu religious iconography, to frescos, and to architecture. What really stands out in his collection though, is his black and white portraits of people like members of the Akali Nihang Singh sect of the Sikh religion. Chitrakari gives such an amazing air of dignity and regal aura to his portraits. He reminds me of Richard Avedon."

"As a newcomer to both photography and flickr, I worked on bright flowers to reflect lot of emotions. Chitrakari's Black & White collection is an awesome treasure of all human emotions. He has the ability to capture the best in an artistic point of view. I look forward for more potraits that inspire us at flickr."

""Chitrakar" means "Painter" In detail someone who draw human figure on canvas, especially as a profession. In my opinion photography is a combination of an artist and photographer. Nihang Teja Singh is a good photographer + artist who have the artistic sense in photography. Nihang Teja Singh work is astonishing especially in portrait photography. Thanks Nihang Teja Singh for sharing with us your Chitrakari."

"Hey there Chitrakari. I am astonished that no one has yet given you any testimonials - especially given that you have some fantastic photos up. While browsing through your sets, I must say that I was overcome by desire to visit India and The Punjab. From the insight you have given the few of us privileged enough to view your photos, you capture the emotion, style and beauty of the land and people in remarkable detail. You have a natural talent for many styles of photography - in particular B&W portraits which look like they would be at home in an issue of National Geographic.
Thank you for sharing your photos - the Tourism Board of India should consider hiring you as a professional photographer! keep up the great work!"29th March, 2007
