Event Description : "Water series" an exhibition of photographs by Amita Virmani.
Rapidly moving water is an amazing medium to showcase constant change in beauty. Photographing sunlight and moonlight reflecting in moving water presents a continuous dynamic play of color, light, textures and patterns interweaving to create a visual treat. The reflecting sun caught in the spray creates fine streaks of light across the canvas of water to resemble a firework display. At other times the movement of reflection of sky, sunlight and vegetation are like a painting created by a master painter. The reflection of moonlight on water tells its own story as it competes to co-exist with the white spray of waves. No two frames are alike. Each frame captures a unique movement. No moment presents itself for replication. Each photograph is a symphony of light, movement, color and texture.
Amita’s photographs are about the inherent beauty in nature, portray people in their context and document social issues. While the influence of culture on photography is inevitable, Amita attempts to go beyond boundaries, to touch sensibilities at a visual and emotional level. Her photographs are an attempt at reflecting the silent contact made with what is around, what is seen and how it is understood. The approach is to grasp “that” which strikes sensibilities with its beauty or stark reality.
Paradoxically, her long experience of the techy-savvy corporate world of the IT industry across different cultures and countries made her increasingly sensitive to the elements that exist beyond culture. Her transient living style of constant movement across geographies has influenced her choice of subjects. Photographing nature is a way to seek continuity across borders, seasons and to project the inherent power and beauty of the elements. The series on “Water” is testament to continuity.
An ongoing project on “Garbage” is documenting the contrasting approaches to environment .The photographs present a story of contrasts in attitudes, technology and management across geographies.
Photography for Amita marks the celebration of life starting at sixty. She entered the world of photography by starting a facebook group as a forum for people to share their photographs. The overwhelming response led her to develop a more discerning eye to distinguish between “snapshots” and “photographs” and plunge into the world of photography with enthusiasm. She shoots in multiple ways: pin-hole, film and digital.
Established photographers Guy Glorieux, Cynthia Copper and Ann Pearson in Montreal have been her mentors and guided her in developing as a photographer.
Courses at Concordia University, and Dawson College in Montreal, have contributed to developing technique, deciding the type of photography while providing a formal education in photography.
Amita’s work has been exhibited at the Visual Arts Centre, McClure Art Gallery, Montreal, Canada.
Her photographs have been published in :
Photo Solutions Magazine, Quebec
World Pinhole Photography
