The camera is a potent instrument to make the fleeting, permanent; the intangible, tangible and the faraway, intimate. A photograph or film captured with intent & attention to detail is not challenged by demarcations of past, present or future… but an image that just is. It is then, timeless, allowing one to change the world, one frame at a time.
Lensing, a concept and program by Ragini Bhajanka, is an invitation to reimagine all we know about the camera. An alternative medium of expression that imbues visuality with a strong artistic quotient by removing acquired layers enough to surrender to everyday beauty as it exists around us. Raw. Unfiltered. Real.
Lensing has the scope to not only redefine your perception of the world but also of yourself by deepening how you construct relationships with everything. It is a way to add to the universe… capture stories and find yours. To create pictures and films that make humans want to return to them time and time again, to just maybe, find some respite. Or relief. Or hope.
