Firstly, thank you for our 60 subscribers on Substack and 500 followers on Instagram. We know we are late but seems like we have caught the travelling bug, this time it was Goa. But we are finally getting our engines going again.
Instead of making New Year's resolutions, we prefer to alter our routines and enhance our lifestyles. Avoid committing to oneself for a set amount of time. We live by the motto"Follow through life."
What did we do?
Submissions for our first open call- Hint Of Humans have officially closed. We were so glad to receive almost 100 responses and cannot wait to share the results with you all in the coming week.
Work
We adore it when our clients are crystal clear about their goals for the project. Shweta Agarwal, a painter and photographer, is one such customer. She desired a really straightforward layout for her website. Check out our project by clicking here.

Photo Diary
Last month we began creating reels showcasing the works by some of the greatest photographers who’ve ever lived. People who’ve lent us their eyes and paved the way for the beautiful art that has now become a daily practice for many.
Since then we have added more artists. We would appreciate it if you tune in. https://www.instagram.com/uncommonstudio.in/reels/
Interpreting Photographs is a series where we share our little knowledge of reading a photo. This series aims to expand our skills on what makes a good photo and decipher its timelessness. First up is a photo by Matt Stuart.
This is one of those photographs that might not seem particularly appealing at first glance, but as you look closer, you start to notice how all the components have come together to create this special moment in time.
The construction panels plus the shadow of the cross over the man can only occur at specific times during the day and eventually when the man has to shift to a new location, the scene will change altogether.
For more Matt Stuart, check out this great video of his process and views whilst on the streets.

Notes
Our blog, straight from the writers and editors at Uncommonstudio.in
Sharbat Gula, famously known as The Afghan Girl photographed by Steve McCurry was asked how she felt when the photograph was taken and for the first time, she was able to say that she felt angry.
So the question is - would the famous photographs exist if the photographer waited for their subjects’ permission?
Check out our blog “Viewer or Vouyer” where we try to answer this question.
