In a world where pixels rule and instant gratification is the norm, there exists a realm where time slows down, and each frame tells a story of patience, experimentation, and workmanship. Meet Jagadish Upadhya, a man who has dedicated three decades of his life to the timeless world of analog photography
The Art of Patience
Jagadish’s affair with photography is no fleeting romance; it’s a lifelong commitment to a craft that whispers the secrets of life in every click of the shutter. For him, photography is more than a visual art form; it’s a philosophy — a way of life that invites simplicity and mindfulness.

Through his camera, he captures the essence of daily life, freezing moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. But Jagadish’s style of art goes beyond the traditional; he’s a master of fusion, blending different techniques and experimenting with alternate printing methods to create a visual story that compliments with his unique lifestyle.
