I tried to apply it in photography. I think it's a great relationship between underwater photography, sea, art and history of the fishermen.

Sea Horse on white background inspiration Gyotaku ; It is inspired in GYOTAKU. This is traditional method of Japanese fish printing, dating from the mid-1800s. It was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form on its own. I've tried to apply it in photography. I think It’s a beautiful relation about underwater photo, the sea, art and fisherman history.

Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. The Path of the Sadhu. A Sadhu’s Call for Alms Among the Thorns. Amid the vast crowds of the Kumbh Mela, a sadhu sits in the midst of thorny bushes, embodying the harsh yet purposeful life of asceticism. His body, marked by the struggles of self-discipline and the discomfort of the thorns around him, contrasts with the bustling world around him. In this sacred space, he seeks donations—not for personal gain, but as a reminder of the spiritual journey that requires sacrifice and renunciation. His humble request for alms serves as a call to those passing by, urging them to contribute to his sustenance and to the larger cycle of charity, devotion, and spiritual awakening.

Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. The Boatman Amidst the Vastness of the Kumbh Mela. A Boatman with the Grandeur of the Kumbh Mela in the Background. A boatman navigates his small boat through the sacred waters of the Ganges, with a line of other boats following closely behind. The boatman, a humble figure amidst the sea of boats, plays a crucial role in transporting pilgrims to the holy Sangam for their sacred dip. Behind him, the vastness of the Kumbh Mela unfolds, with thousands of tents, boats, and devotees stretching across the horizon. This powerful image captures the scale of the festival, where individual efforts contribute to the collective spiritual journey. The boatman, though small in the grand scene, embodies the spirit of service, navigating not only the waters but also the massive pilgrimage that has gathered in faith.
