Nandita Swetha has apparently made good use of the lockdown. Among the things she’s doing to keep herself busy, she has picked up a few art forms, in particular the art of self-portrait shoots, which the actress claims to have perfected.

“Self-portrait shoot is all about flaunting one’s personalit­y, an art I have always wanted to learn as a part of photograph­y.

I started clicking myself by keeping the camera somewhere and framing it according to my best angle and pose within my comfort zone,” she explains. The Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada star adds that clicking photos from various camera angles gives a new perspectiv­e about one’s personalit­y.

“During the lockdown, I went around looking for interestin­g places near my house and began clicking,” the actress explains.

Additional­ly, Nandita has also taken to learning the art of editing photos. “Most of the photos I upload on my social media are the ones I have clicked myself. That gave me confidence to pursue something further creative,” she explains.

Nandita has also enrolled in a three-month makeup, hairstyle and fashion therapy course from the London School of Trends.

“I tune in for online classes for 3-4 hours every day,” she explains, adding how that works wonderfull­y for her. “I am an introvert and don’t have many friends, and neither do I socialise because it usually leaves me bored.”
