Desi: New York, NY, United States; I have been always interested in exploring different cultures. I moved to New York four years ago and ever since have been amazed by the diversity of the city. Exploring various visual mediums like film, video and photography helps me to get a better understanding of culture. Issues around identity, language and cultural change could be analyzed not only through text but also through films and photography. In my free time I like walking around the city and taking pictures of buildings or billboards that I find interesting in a certain way. Sometimes words are not enough to express myself. Thus, photography is helping me to tell a story and remember it. I mostly enjoy taking pictures of people. I find it compelling that a single shot can reveal so much of someone’s emotions. In front of the camera people tend to expose a different side of their personality. Each picture tells a certain story. However, the story that I see behind a certain picture might be different from the story that you see. That’s the beauty of photography; everyone is free to have its own interpretation of a picture. There are no written rules.
