00:00If you see vulgarity in this photo, then it is in your mind.
00:14The first reaction was a bit negative.
00:16Why are you doing this? Is there any depression? Why do you click like this?
00:30It is a nude art photograph. It has nothing to do with what.
00:37If we are saying now that there is no nudity in our culture,
00:41then how was it in the olden days?
00:43Were they advanced or are we advanced?
00:51Because of my work, I had to live in different cities.
00:56I was an artist for a month or two.
00:59In the same period of time, staying in a hotel for so many days,
01:03life becomes kind of monotonous.
01:07Because you see the same things every day.
01:17That solitude, that monotonous life, I thought let's capture it.
01:22How you are sitting alone in a hotel room and looking outside the window.
01:32I was afraid of what people would say.
01:39Now I have decided that I have to do this.
01:41If I keep considering what people say, then I won't be able to continue.
01:53He said that you can't print this.
01:58People will say that why are you defaming yourself?
02:01Your shop is doing well.
02:03He said that you come at night.
02:06After the customers leave, I will get it done in front of you.
02:10He made some excuses and said that the printer is bad or my health is bad.
02:23All nude forms, nude pictures are not vulgar.
02:26Naked nude body has many sides.
02:29It was only emotional.
02:32My loneliness I captured.
02:39That was like a painting.
02:40The photos that I clicked, the photos that we created together,
02:43I didn't find any nudity or austerity in any of the photos.
02:48Although both of us are fully naked, she was fully naked.
02:52The artistic side of naked body.
03:01There are nude models, normal nude models.
03:04There are art models who do it with the flow and movements of their body.
03:08Some models don't do body movements but they speak with their emotions.
03:13Their language, their posture.
03:17With different body sizes, different colors of skin.
03:30You will find a lot of nude artists, photographers, models, painters, sculptors,
03:36who work in nude forms.
03:39But where do they show their work?
03:41As an individual creator, I cannot reach to the entire India.
03:45All these public forums,
03:49I expect them to be bold and brave and share the nude photographer's work.
