Ashish Chawla

Born and brought up in Delhi, I have been influenced by the culture and architecture around the city. During my education in fine art from College of Art Delhi, I realized that photography was one of the most immediate and accurate ways to create realism in a visual expression. It has been a 20 year journey for me being a photographer, I eat drink sleep photography to this day and am yet to come across something that’s more exciting than an image.

I have successfully dabbled in photography and my commissioned work has won numerous awards. My personal work has been exhibited through various solo and group shows across Europe and India.

My love for art and music creates a certain kind of poetry in whatever I see and capture. Having worked on all formats of cameras and in different genres of photography, I have developed a very graphic and unusual style of looking at things and people.

TESTIMONIAL

My travels and my documentary work involves interacting with people and being unobtrusive while also keeping weight and bulk of my equipment to a minimum. All these factors combined with excellent image characteristics made me jump into the Fuji system with the X100S in 2013. Over the next few years, I travelled extensively with it and eventually, completely switched form DSLRs to the Fujifilm Mirrorless system. I now use them exclusively for all my work. For me the X System gets out the way and allows the photographer to actualize the vision while at the same time provides the quality and technological support needed for professional work. The design and usability makes the cameras invisible and helps it to gel well with documentary and travel photography to the point that I think it becomes an extension of the eye.
