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.

The god of wisdom as they call him in the Hindu culture, Lord<br />
Ganesh helped Bal Gangadhar Tilak to bring people together<br />
in the pre-independence era not only to worship him but also<br />
discuss their strategies to take down the East India Company. After<br />
70 years of Independence, it is still celebrated with the same zeal and<br />
enthusiasm all over the country especially in Maharashtra. In case<br />
you didn’t’know Lord Ganesh is the Hindu god with the head of an<br />
elephant and body of a human. According to Hindu mythology, he<br />
is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The festival is of twelve<br />
days and huge pandals, with varied themes, are erected all over the<br />
country to welcome Lord Ganesha. With the various global issues in<br />
the picture, some pandals are using this festival to spread awareness<br />
about problems like pollution, women safety, deforestation etc by<br />
basing their themes on them. Many religious people also like to<br />
bring the idol home and offer their prayers for twelve days. The last<br />
day the entire Hindu population bids goodbye to their lord and the<br />
Idols are immersed in water bodies. But nothing is perfect and this<br />
festival also has its cons. With the increasing number of idols being<br />
immersed the water bodies are getting toxic and polluted with the<br />
plaster of paris. Also, some pandals are taking it as a competition<br />
and using loudspeakers to attract crowd causing nuisance and noise<br />
pollution. But the new age artists are using various biodegradable<br />
materials like paper, organic soil etc to make idols and reduce the<br />
adverse effects. In all the chaos this festival brings the entire country<br />
together, even if for twelve days, which is much needed with the<br />
communal tensions going on.<br />
