Holi festival by Avik Roy Chowdhury

Holi festival signifies unification, Holi represents the triumph of good over evil. We Indians always talk about the celebration of Holi in Barsana because many of us still don't know that the city of Joy too celebrates this festival in a grand way that too from decades ago. 

I've tried showing the joy, the sheer excitement amongst people during the Holi festival. 

Hello everyone! My name is Avik Roy Chowdhury and I've been doing photography for over a year now. Being an avid fan of art and literature, I focus on observing more before taking pictures.  To me, photography is a way to express our thoughts, perceptions, the kind of things we believe in.  It's a way to establish a connection, establish the truth. 

I'm inclined towards street photography a bit more compared to other genres, I try to find synchronisation amidst the chaos, I look for unusual things and try to create a frame out.   I don't have a formal education when it comes to photography, I read about art, watch a lot of films and try to find inspiration from various other mediums. 

 My work has been published in IPA, XXZ magazine, Street Photographers Foundation. Currently, I am pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science.
