Self-described “M-Postmodernic Abstract Pictorial Photographer” from India, Albert Siraj Banerjee, creates his photography using the ICM—Intentional Camera Movement.
In this technique the camera is moved deliberately during a long exposure. The result of such a setting is a distorted image that brings to mind impressionist paintings.
The artist also experiments with M-Theory, which delves into the boundaries of human perception and uses photography as a medium for modifying it. He accompanies his portfolio with anti-war and censorship sentiments, therefore attaching deeper and more explicit meaning to the blurred, abstract visuals.
Banerjee’s compositions are unique fragments of reality seen through the vision of an artist who denounces standard forms and accepted truths. His pieces can be interpreted both individually and in combination with others—a clear, intentional testament to his cohesive style.
The restless and impersonal images are like depictions of sound waves, echoing voices, and street noise. People, when they appear in the photographs, are smudges, brush strokes morphing with the background. Every frame is an oxymoron—an immobilized movement.

RAWGUE.’s 4th issue delved into the grey, moody, and cold atmosphere of winter. Yet it did not sink into the depths of madness or depression. Instead, it embraced this season of hibernation, allowing 31 artists from all over the world to present their timid work beneath a veil of quiet beauty.
We’re a team of writers using our craft to spotlight art in its most honest form. RAWGUE. started as a bi-monthly editorial experiment where each issue’s theme is dictated by the submitted work, thus removing editorial bias from the equation and preserving a more raw approach. We focus on all forms of poetry: written, photographed, painted, drawn, and filmed.
