My name is Rathai and sometimes I attempt to make nice looking pictures. A rough visual diary of sorts.

'India', I Want to Skin You series, 2014

For uni, I created a work based on cultural appropriation within pop culture, particularly in the aesthetics and style of western musicians. I collaged together different examples into full figures and animated them crudely to mimic how cultures are taken without respect or understanding of their original context.

"Elemental" - Willow Beats [Unofficial Music Video]
Made for a Moving Image assignment at uni.
I was inspired by old school Tamil music videos for this project - their aesthetic and kitschiness, along with unavoidable nostalgia, were things that I were really attracted to. So this video is meant to be an experimental homage to that, whilst also trying to find my own style. I picked this song because the harmonies and the rhythm remind me of Tamil music. Plus it's a great song anyway.
It's my first proper solo video project, and I look forward to making lots more. ^_^
Cheers to Ayesha for helping out!

I haven't posted any new stuff in ages, I've been quite busy with uni at the moment. But I will upload any new projects once they're done! (Also if I am happy with them, hah.) Until then, I'll post some simple phoneography experiments from my instagram~☆

Experimented with mirrors again, this time with some water. Also I like oversaturating things. It's a problem. I go to a support group for it but I can't stop.
Got a little gif work coming up a little later from this shoot. Stay tuned!

Shot an old and new friend today at the Chinese Gardens of Friendship. No deep meaningful concept this time round, just practising directing models and posing and all that. More pictures from the shoot coming soon. ;)

A little while back, I experimented with shooting with a mirror and sprinkles in my backyard. These are the results.
