Narrating the Tales of Life
Prabhat Singh
Prabhat Singh is a realistic
Lensman. After completing his studies, he began his career as a photo
journalist a few decades back. Being a sensible human being he aimed at the
roots of human life for all time. Very soon he established his identity in the
world of photography art. Capturing the life’s essence has always been his
passion. Besides, he captures folk-elements so well that the viewers for a
while find themselves into a realm which is in fact very close to them.
When asked about
his perception, he told, “I always aim at developing an image that is
mysterious and full of fascinating phenomenon. So far the Camera is concerned,
it is a magical tool which not only creates life but documents it also. To
document the truth and life is more important to me rather than making my images
aesthetically perfect.”
He has worked on many projects till date. Recently he has done a series of pictures which is titled as “Latent Faces”. Through this mission he has tried to narrate the tales of the people, who exist around us and always work to make a difference, but most of them often go unnoticed – be a labour or farmer, prostitute or pilgrim, cobbler or a butcher. Their faces tell the tales of their hardships.
Satire or humor out
of juxtaposed content is another favorite subject for him, and while working as
news photographer he has trained his eyes to spot such situations in our daily
routine.
Prabhat Singh has to his credit many solo exhibitions in
different cities of India. His stories have taken place in reputed
publications. Presently he works as Resident Editor with Amar Ujala Publications
Ltd., Noida (India).
