The Gallery

The true image of a society is depicted through its culture — people, values, lifestyle, art and architecture. Andretta, a small town nestled in the pristine Kangra Valley, is not just home to slipware pottery in India, but also a cultural ensemble in itself along with Palampur — the Tea Capital of North India. I attempted to capture the cultural essence of the place through a photobiography as a part of my design project in the spring of 2017. My output of the project is the photostory that attempts to paint a picture of the place as seen by me. All the photographs contained in the book have been taken with my Nikon D5200 using a 18-105mm lens, which were edited using Adobe Photoshop and then compiled into the story using Adobe Illustrator.
