A personal photo essay by an architecture student, capturing everyday life, places, and memories across India.
This is a photography portfolio by Monisha Raju, an architecture student at the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi. It is a personal collection of phone pictures that tell stories of mundane daily life, memories of places and people, with a focus on ephemeral patterns and textures.
The portfolio is organized into thematic sections that begin with 'Places & Memories', featuring photographs from locations such as Bharatpur Museum, Godavari River in Rajamundry, Jama Masjid in New Delhi, Mall Road in Shimla, Amar Colony and Lodhi Garden in New Delhi. These images capture the atmosphere of each site.
A section titled 'Choices' reflects on decision-making, illustrated by a photograph taken on an Indigo flight between Bangalore and Delhi. Another section, 'Camaraderie', includes an image from Deeg Palace in Bharatpur, suggesting themes of companionship and shared experience.
Throughout, the document presents a visual narrative rather than a technical or academic study. It is intended for those interested in personal photography, travel imagery, and the everyday observations of a student artist, offering a glimpse into the creator's visual diary.
