“No inner meanings it reflect”, says Roby Das a self-trained photographer from Kerala whose photographs is now showcasing at Lalita kala Academy here in Chennai. He adhere life in his clicks, not meanings. Frames he carved are anecdotes of land and people. Almost seventy refined photographs are hung in the gallery
A trip from Srinagar to kanyakumari on a solo motorcycle gave him enough beauty and charm for him to click. But being a ‘human being’, he distributed one lakh pamphlets on traffic safety rules in English and in languages of the state he crossed, first time an individual has tried this feat. Hence his name has been included in Limca Book of Records, of the March 2011 edition
“I have to run and click those frames before they vanish from this world” laments Roby Das on the degrading river and paddy fields of the country. He wants to fill his frames with all the curves, length and breadth of nature. He is now fuelling himself for another journey for this. When others travel for a click, his journey gifts him with excellent clicks.
Roby first mounted a solo exhibition of his fifty photographs at AIFAC, Rafi Marg, and New Delhi in the year 2008, followed by one at Ashok hotel, New Delhi. An exhibition of twenty portraits, “faces of India”, held at the constitution club on the occasion of Independence Day, another one “Dawn and Desk” at Trivandrum, Kerala. Next one waiting to be show cased at Bangalore. Roby das hails from a Small hamlet called Sreekandapuram Kerala
His portraits would be in show at Lalita Kala academy from 7th Monday to 13th Sunday of this month. Some of them are all set to sale.
