The life we live is different for all of us. Since life is distinct, our daily life is different too. Shivaji Dhute’s photograph Daily Life captures the essence of the life of a marginal family. Each character carries an expression that tells you their story. The object placement in these pictures adds a layer to the tale the characters narrate. The curious yet serious-faced stare of the child with a vessel showcases her learning of controlling emotions. Amidst these different emotions, the monochrome lighting allows one to avoid the distractions colours would serve. With this, the lighting is a metaphor for the life of children who have just stepped onto this earth. The vast emotions and clever capture make Shivaji Dhute’s entry emerge as a bonus winner for Season 1 of India’s Aperture Photography Competition!!
