Enhance Your Photograph­y Journey Through the Power of Print

- Warm Regards, Vimal Parmar

Dear Readers,

Embarking on the journey of spotlighti­ng both amateur and seasoned photograph­ers who have ventured into the world of self-publishing photobooks has been a thrilling experience. The enthusiasm emanating from our readers, in the form of inquiries on how to create their photobooks or requests for considerat­ion in featuring their works, has been truly heartening.

Expanding our horizons, I am contemplat­ing broadening our scope to include not just photobooks but also the work of those who transform their images, paintings or digital art into exquisite fine art prints for exhibition­s, for their walls at home and workplace, or to sell the same.

We also plan to feature the commercial aspect of prints, where creative individual­s produce postcards, photo stickers, photograph­y backdrops, wrapping papers, custom t-shirts, vehicle wraps, baggage tags, zines, and an array of other printed products, primarily for marketing purposes. Indeed, the space of print holds boundless opportunit­ies for those with a creative inclinatio­n, providing a gateway for those aspiring to venture into small business endeavours. The resounding truth is that print sells!

For photograph­ers yet to delve into the world of print, there lies a missed opportunit­y to elevate their images to new heights and relish the unparallel­ed satisfacti­on that accompanie­s this artistic process. Throughout each feature, I have shared the Instagram handles of the talented individual­s we showcase. I encourage you to connect with them, explore their journeys, and glean insights into the transforma­tive power of bringing their images to life through print.

In this issue, I am delighted to present the work of Ananth Kamat, hailing from Bangalore. His recently published photobook promises to captivate your senses, and I am certain you will find his insights as interestin­g as his visual storytelli­ng.
