Joseph R's photostream  

Whitsunday Islands, January 2012.

Hello everybody! My flickrstream has been inactive for far too long and I am going to revive it with one of the oldest loves of my life - travel photography. :)

This was one was taken on a lazy afternoon in the middle of a cruise among the Whitsunday islands, right after my first dive. The past month has been filled with travel across continents and am super kicked that I have a bunch of images worth sharing!

Cheers!
Joe

Shruti Moghe.

I've been meaning to do a shoot like this for a long long while now but when Shruti gave me a call in the second half of last year, I knew she would feature in my first "baby bump" photoshoot. :)

This photo is a result of complete teamwork: Shruti for the concept, Mangesh (her hubby) for the flying sari and me for the light/framing and other such boring things. :D

Catch one more from this shoot on my facebook page.

Peaceful happiness.

For me, the last half of this year has been a roller coaster ride between the highs of a fairytale photography career n the depths of a heart-breaking personal life. And once in a rare while in the middle of this mad ride, there have been moments of mirth, peace and calm. Moments that bring a smile to my face no matter how busy or messed up I am. Kinda like my oasis in the midst of a deserted life. Here's to my oasis!

PS: I liked this photo so much that I came back to flickr after 7 months! Unlike my Facebook page, this place can be my personal photography space as well. :)

Vikarabad, May 2011.

This shot was as much as an accident as it was directed by me. I was on the floor taking a low-angle fish-eye shot and as I was about to get up, the reflection in the shades caught my attention - I whipped out the 35mm and took this one! This is easily one of the coolest couple shots I've taken in my time as a people photographer. I <3 it. :D

I know it has been a LONG while since I've uploaded a photograph here on Flickr, so here's something very different - a ring shot with a slight twist. :)

There are always some lil moments of inspiration in every portrait session for me, this particular 2 hour session had at least 3-4 of those moments! So while we were nearing the end of the shoot, I realized I was yet to take a proper ring shot but there was no proper place to take it - unless I wanted yet another "ring among the rocks" photos. And just like that this photo happened. :D

I like it. It's wacky, strong and not really mushy chic-flick stuff - very much how this couple is in real life.

There's a LOT more inspiration on my Facebook page!
