Le Corbusier creations meets a photo artist from Chandigarh

He was trained to be a graphic artist and painter instead he picked up camera. His is conceptual photography. Without delving into technicalities I call him one of the best Indian photo artists.

Diwan Manna freezes us with his black and white creations. He photographs kitchen workers who work endlessly inside hot dark four walls. 

He is from Chandigarh, a city designed by Le Corbusier. So one fine day he went to France to capture Le Corbusier creations. Here is the result:

Hi Bleu,
This jourey is eye-opener too, I think so!

Really like the ‘rooh punjab’ image…it is so real…

Hi Bhavna,

‘rooh punjab’ is one of my favourites too!

भाभी, हिल गये हम तो.

बहुत ही गजब.

एक काम करें..हमें संभलने का वक्त दें.

आगे फिर आकर संभली प्रतिक्रिया देते हैं.

तब तक अनिल भाई का यहाँ भिजवाने का अभार.
