Neeta Madahar

    Neeta Madahar is a famous photographer born in 1966. She studied at Winchester School of Art and of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University in Boston. Her works were exhibited most in Europe and the USA.

    Madahar's art is devided into two categories: One evokes the beauty in the mondane or meditations on useen wonders, while the second one is formed of portraits that resemble classic mid-20th century Hollywood glamour shots. The women she was/is working with, are aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s, and although carefully dressed and posed, maintaining anyway the natural look. This means that there was no attempts to disguise their age or temper with their looks: no airbrushing, soft focus or Photoshop.
    The sitters were involved in creating the overall image by selectingthe flowers and suggesting themes or emotions such as melancholy or innocence. Each sitter participated by deciding the tone and including an object that was personal to their personalities into the photo.

    Passionate about art as a child, Madahar was discouraged from pursuing it by her parents because it wasn’t a subject they considered serious or one that would help her support herself. In her mid-20s she started doing a weekly painting and drawing evening class, which fired her enthusiasm for art again and made her determined to pursue life as an artist.

I personally think that the great work of Neeta Madahar is a real art showed through her originality and creativity. Her perfection lies in the fact to show the imperfection, and this is what makes her unique.
