Outdoor photography in India does not always have to mean wildlife or landscapes of unusual beauty. Our cities offer plenty too.
Usually, when we think of outdoor photography, we imagine that a lot of time is needed; time to travel, savour natural landscapes (mountains, rivers, forests), find that elusive tiger hiding in the woods…
But, our cities actually offer plenty to photograph too.
As a woman who loves to walk everywhere, who enjoys the hustle and bustle of the streets, I love outdoor photography that focuses on the daily dramas playing out all around us.
There is drama everywhere, and colour everywhere around us, if only we take a moment to look.
Here are some beautiful photographs from the streets and public spaces of Bangalore, taken with the ASUS #ZenfoneZoom, the world’s thinnest phone with a 3X optical Zoom (and a total 12X Zoom).
These street art photographs taken at Bangalore’s famous Church Street in full sunlight are so lively and just a little offbeat to spark one’s interest! Keep an eye out for such street art, or even graffiti to add to your repertoire.
Another great place to take outdoor photos is at fairs and playgrounds, where there is opportunity to take photos that are very lively and engaging.
This one above is not strictly outdoors, but captures with laser precision the concentration of the artisan at work.
This one of a puppet show at a fair captures beautifully the subtle yet gorgeous colours of the puppet’s clothes, as well as their distinct features.
All photos taken using the ASUS #ZenfoneZoom, a neat mobile phone made for photography aficionados. It has a 4GB RAM, Intel PC level performance, 13MP Laser Auto focus camera, 4 Stops Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a 10P HOYA Lens.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
