Randy Rocket, an artist and a freelance photographer shares his work and views on conceptual photography
Q. First of all, how do you come up with all the creative ideas for your photoshoots?
A. Inspiration is everywhere. I try to do as much non-job related activities as possible. I believe that only a free mind can be creative. Traveling and meditation works as well.
Q. There is a very clear audacity in your work, but there is also the fact that the society needs to see it. What do you have to say about it?
A. For me there’s nothing more boring than photography without a meaning. Some pictures are just beautiful, but you forget them after a few seconds. I like to tickle the mind of the viewer, it’s not relevant if you like the picture or not. But it triggers something in your mind, and gives you something to think about. So if you want or not, you have to deal with it, think about it and maybe it changes your point of view.

Dried and Dusted
The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
