Most photographers are reclusive and so am I. A fascination for black and white portrait photography is basically a perspective of my inner self whether it is expressing that sparkling moment or grim state, flawed self or strengths, and most of the times that wanderer in me which I gathered by traveling all over. These images are a stretch of my imagination of putting all that theory into realization, it is a portrayal of traces of life!
Traces of life because it unfolds the intrigue of the mystical nature of life itself.
Traces of Life is a collection of 9 unique 1/1 fine art street portraits.
Each collector will get a high-resolution image to download and use.

TRACES OF LIFE by Jassi Oberai

Silver Lining is a special image that shows how one can see a glimpse of light even through dense clouds. Silver Lining is about hope. It gives strength to hold on, despite all odds. This edition is special because it's getting dropped on my birthday and is dedicated to my strong community of friends on Twitter who have showered love in some way or the other.

Silver Lining

This image was on my wishlist for many years. And it was possible almost 4 months before Covid struck. These are colorful row houses in Reitdiephaven, Groningen with one face on the waterfront. I wanted a perfect reflection but every time I visited this place to create an image, it was windy and it was then I decided to go for blue hour taking reflection of the warm light on water.  
I love using long exposure and creating surreal effects on images with choppy water. After a couple of experiments, I decided to opt for 6-Stop ND Filter to create this image with exposure getting extended to 39 secs.

The final image does give a notion of time passing by while the row houses stood still.
