My name is Vinod Sebastian, although most people refer to me simply as Vinod. Born and brought up in Bangalore I spend my days taking and making photos.
I've always been creatively driven. From very early on with drawing and painting, many have recognized my need to create. This in the past has taken various forms – lampshades, bamboo art, candles, music, sketching, sports and now I have a great passion to play with light. The character of the subject comes to life with the smallest change in the angle of light falling on them. And this I feel is the most important element every picture should have.
I shot on film at first, but there was such a delay between when I took the shot and when I saw the shot, that I had no clue why my photos weren't as I expected. Digital has changed all that for me as there is no element of suspense. I see digital photography only as photography evolving and I don’t believe that film is on it way out, as it’s a different way of picture making.
I really enjoy working with people, seeing new places and best of all looking for that picture without judgment or rules.
