MUMBAI: On August 19th, World Photography Day celebrates the profound impact of photography on our lives. This art form is more than just snapping pictures; it’s about freezing time, preserving memories, and sharing the beauty of the world around us. In this, four celebrities — Celesti Bairagey, Shubhangi Atre, Hansa Singh, and Rashmi Gupta—share their personal reflections on what photography means to them and why it holds such a special place in their hearts.
Celesti Bairagey :
I've always felt a deep connection to the vibrant colors and rich textures of my surroundings. Nature has always been a great source of inspiration for me. There is something incredibly soothing and uplifting about being surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. Photography gives me the chance to capture the vibrant greens. Sunsets, in particular, hold a special place in my heart. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, reminds me of nature's ever-changing beauty and the promise of a new day. I love using photography to share these beautiful moments with all of you. It's a wonderful way to connect and inspire others to appreciate the natural beauty around us. I encourage you to look at the world through your own unique lens and capture the moments that matter to you.
Shubhangi Atre:
August 19th is a special day for photographers, as it celebrates their important role in capturing and preserving moments. Photography allows us to revisit special moments through pictures, making them very valuable.As time goes on, having even one picture from a special moment can help us relive it. For me, every picture is important because it captures a moment in time.
I recently had a photoshoot and there's one picture I really like. The main reason I love it is that I wasn’t thinking about anything at the time. The photographer just captured me in a moment when I was genuinely happy and enjoying myself. When you're doing something you love, you’re in your own world, and that’s what makes the moment beautiful.
Hansa Singh :
Photography is one of life's greatest gifts. It allows us to capture moments of life, people, places, and work. It's a tool that adds beauty to life. I used to take pictures with a proper camera, but now, with everything on our phones, it's more portable and handy. Whether capturing myself or shooting my work videos (tarot and auditions), I also capture places, as every place has its own character. I wonder what the world would be like without photography—memories captured for a lifetime.
Rashmi Gupta:
Photography has immense value as it: Captures life's precious moments and preserves memories. Tells stories and conveys emotions without words. Documents history, culture, and social changes connects people.
