Human body portrays shape/form.
Thus creating the form of a Pear.

“A photograph is not created by a photographer. What they do is just open a little window and capture it. The world then writes itself on the film. The act of the photographer is closer to reading than it is to writing. They are the readers of the world. ”

Sanjiven Marday known as Guruarts is a hybrid artist-photographer based in Mauritius, who constantly looks for new ways to keep his work fresh and lively. Sanjiven’s passion for capturing emotions started during his studies at the Kent School of Art and Design in Kent following Design studies in Curtin. The magic of photography has not only intrigued him, but the translation from the click of the shutter to a finished image has always amazed his mind. His motto is to capture emotions not just the image…

He has gradually learned to master the technique of digital colorising. The resulting creations occupy a specific and unique place in his work, and the strong bond he feels with his subjects is visible in the appeal of his photography. Sometimes he photographs models; at other times he combines studio shots with backgrounds taken on location.
