SAKSHI: Cory Wilyman

12 May 2018

Sakshi (Saksi साक्षी) is the Hindi word meaning "witness, or one who witnesses the world with pure awareness but does not get affected or involved".

Sakshi (Saksi साक्षी) is the Hindi word meaning "witness, or one who witnesses the world with pure awareness but does not get affected or involved". This is how I chose to approach my photography. I chose to be a silent observer, covertly catching glimpses of the subjects' personal worlds. Photography to me is more about encapsulating a “moment in time”. Letting my eye capture the frame as opposed to orchestrating the subject manner. Keeping my photos emotionally neutral was my goal. India is full of dramatic images and subject matter. I tried to capture human yet non-sensationalized images.

This is a collection of non-digital 35mm hand printed, hand toned, silver gelatin  lith prints. The printing process creates a unique, one of a kind print. This exhibition consists of thirty images (five prints of each plus an Artist’s Print). The images are printed in a soft, gritty, textured style that reflects Wilyman's solo journey throughout chaotic India.
