Another evening edition of our Chai & Chat, as day turns to night - for a session about light.
Mohtashim Shaikh works in black and white, and he'll tell you why: strip out colour and the imagination has somewhere to go. What's left is light, and light is what carries the story.
This sharing and conversation draws on decades of travel and living across continents: photographs made in obscure corners and hidden recesses, where the vestiges of a bygone era persist unfiltered and unadorned. Mohtashim shares the work and the seeing behind it: how he finds a frame, what he waits for, and why he believes the truth lives in the absence of colour.
A special dinner menu by Chef Off Duty is available, on a pre-order basis.
