Photography in Red
Photography in the Color Red
Red is a color that is strongly defined in the human civilisation. .
Red is emotive,
Red is dangerous,
Red is sexy
Red is Godly
Red is Evil
As many interpretations are possible depending on the civilisation you are born in. In India, the color red is significant for it goes to state the raison d’etre of this earth. Birth and Death. The red of the blood signifies the living and the existing. It becomes a symbol of fertility and anything red thereafter attains the primal throes of the Hindu philosophy of existence. Red adorns the foreheads of the Indian woman, sometimes the hands and the feet to mark the fertility rites and red then becomes a mark of a religion. One is born unto this earth for only one reason and that is to continue the human race. Fertility is the dominant theme that defines Hindusim and its Gods.
So here is to Red. From Gods in Red, Ferraris in Red to Women in Red

i really like this and i strongly agree with your words. where are these pictures taken at? (like in a different picture?)
Thanks for liking the presentation on “red”
All the photos have been shot in India in different places like Kerala and Goa. Most of the dance ones are from a form called Theyyam that is practiced in North Kerala.
let me know any specific photograph, would be glad to give you the exact geo status

I was recently talking about red elsewhere. RED is perceived by the vast majority of cultures around the world as the colour of power. Seconded only to black, it is THE most used colour in marketing. As a commercial artist, there is no way that I could ever ignore these facts. It is because of these facts why I deliberately made my company logo all RED on black. It . . . stands . . . out.
I love your work. There’s always remarkable photography coming out of India.
Thanks for your lovely words.
Yes Red is powerful symbolism all over the culutures. In India it denotes vitality and procreation.
Great to see your red logo
Hi, would like to use one pic of yours (sunset) in our upcoming tourist site related to Kerala. Is that okay?
Amit if you were to give me more details and if you are unable to pay you could link up the image with credits
