-Great Masters-
Breathing Life into his Creations
Rakesh Syal
Rakesh Syal, an ace
lensman has inner instinct for dimensions, textures, light and expressions.
Born and brought up in Ludhiana, he is among the most talented photographers of
his country. An artist by instinct he picked up his camera in 1975. Deeply
fascinated by the world of photography he never looked back and made a mark in
the field of portraiture, still life, product, industrial, fashion, food,
interiors and wedding photography. Life is not measured by the number of
breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away …that’s what Syal
does …., a maestro who breathes life into his work, making it truly
breathtaking. His works are remarkable for their technical and formal mastery. Still
life by Rakesh Syal is class apart. His compositions carry a signature style of
his own and are from the genesis of an idea. A challenge to creativity and
technical skills, Rakesh Syal’s portraits are magical. With enigmatic backdrops
he creates the best of formal and informal portraits inside and outside his
studio. Nothing succeeds like success and for this artist success is a journey,
not a destination. With over 35 years of experience to combine with his
exceptional skills Rakesh is very passionate about his work. His immense talent
makes whatever he does highly recognizable and his charismatic power to turn
the ordinary into extraordinary!
He has to his
credit some 3500 acceptances & more than 900 prestigious awards in National
& International photographic competitions. FELLOWSHIP honour by India
International Photographic Council (2007), AIFACS award by All India Fine Art
& Craft Society, New Delhi (1994) and the ARTIST of Federation
Internationale del Art Photographique (AFIAP) Honour, Barcelona, SPAIN (1994)
are some of the prestigious laurels that Mr. Syal possesses. From year 1991 to
1998, Federation of Indian Photography & India International Photographic
Council, placed him at Number One Position in top ten Exhibitors. He has achieved the “Platinum Exhibitor Award”
by IIPC (1998). He has been a Faculty in reputed photography workshops and
conferences conducted by IIPC & FIP. He has been jury member in many
National & International Competitions of art photography.

Dear Dr Pankaj,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the works of my colleague Rakesh, Punjab-daa
-Puttar (Son of Punjab) on this blog. I call him Vadday-Veerji, (means Elder brother ). In fact, he was of my era, a bit senior in age. We used to religiously participate in 80's n 90's Photography Salons.
Rakesh is truly talented and having tremendous Artistic
Potential. He has mastered Still Life & Portraiture work with studio lights. I have always loved his work & have high regards for him and for his great work. I met him twice, in person, in Delhi & Chennai during IIPC Workshops in 90's.
My Thanks n Congrats for lovely illustration on Rakesh ji.
Regards,
Virendra Singh-Jamshedpur
