'#Ridburmanphotography #rburmanphotography #Interviewswithindianphotographers In our second episode for Straight from the Art (Instagram @shreyasenphotography/ @sftatalks) we had the honor of interviewing renowned fashion & commercial photographer R. Burman also known as Rid Burman. A known name in the editorial and fashion industry in India, someone who has always fought for the integrity of the visuals and to keep art alive in a world that often gives into pleasing what sells. He never hesitates to speak his mind and in this interview he has candidly shared some great gems about how the commercial world of photography works and how he has managed to balance his artistic voice and the needs of a commercial project. This interview was done in the times of Corona via Zoom so do excuse the imperfect sound. We are glad Burman could take the time out and has shared so much for many of us starting off and are evolving as artists. If you would like to check more of his work.
