Chiiz Volume 7 :Fashion Photography
When people stand in front of the mirror to have a good long look at themselves, they always hope to see a better reflection of themselves than what they have seen previously and with all this, they have grown conscious of how they appear and how comfortable they are with what they wear.Not only their clothes, but also their comfort level, express the sense of style and their conformity to the outer world.In this issue, what we have focussed on might not be the mainstream fashion and people might not get the hype that revolves around the fashion world but what we have here is something that is responsible for all that we have achieved so far in this industry. Be it natural beauty by Lynn Theisen, backstage brilliance by Ishaan Nair, or the street fashion by Rohit Arora which is now gaining popularity among the more prominent photographers.The interview with John Rawson is an eye opener. He is has been through it all andhis experiences form a great lesson for all of us. The series of Roshini Kumar with Suhail Nayyar is also a masterpiece in itself which is a true symbol of comfortable fashion statements. Rod Klein and Jorge Gonzalez’s underwater fashion photographs present an altogether different approach to see things.

Tarun Khiwal<br />
Tarun Khiwal is among India’s<br />
leading fashion photographers<br />
and a true maverick. Recognized<br />
and featured internationally, his<br />
experimental style and finesse<br />
transformed fashion photography<br />
in India, and gave it a global edge<br />
while also ushering in a new era of<br />
exploration. His journey with the<br />
art form began 25 years ago, and<br />
without any formal training, his<br />
undying passion and commitment<br />
have led him to become one of the<br />

The strongest, most defining aspect of Tarun’s aesthetic is that he<br />
never conformed to the conventional ‘rules’, but made his own. His<br />
visual style is unmatched because it stems from his Indian roots,<br />
and yet transcends them to speak a contemporary language. Instead<br />
of following western trends and masters, he crafted his own rare<br />
style by drawing inspiration from his personal treasure of memories<br />
and experiences in his own country India; small anecdotes of his<br />
childhood years, or places he’d visited, or celebrations he’d seen,<br />
the culture and traditions that influenced him while growing up.<br />
Each image by Tarun Khiwal carries this signature backdrop, this<br />
unmistakable sense of heritage and pride in one’s own culture. He<br />
combined this sensibility with the technical and artistic sophistication<br />
of modern photography to deliver images that are distinctly his own<br />
and so unique that they have won him appreciation and accolades<br />
the world over.<br />
