Polaroid Portraits is a work in progress.....

It is a series of black and white portraits of Bollywood personalities, taken in the last 5 or 6 years, incorporating the details of each actor's career and highlighting their landmark films.

I am more and more fascinated by the use of text as a design element. I feel that the marriage of image and text lifts each work to another level.

The idea and layout of the Polaroid allows me to pay homage to a technology that was ahead of its time and indulged both instant gratification and the ability to scribble a simple record of when and where the image was taken.
