Working on-site in rural Meghalaya was both inspiring and unpredictable. Shooting in natural, low light environments and

capturing the artisans in motion tested my adaptability. Managing sound, light, and framing amidst dynamic surroundings

demanded spontaneity and awareness.

This project grounded my understanding of documentary style storytelling, balancing authenticity with visual aesthetics. It

also strengthened my observation skills and empathy toward cultural subjects, teaching me that visual communication isn’t just

about beauty, it’s about preserving narratives that matter.
