- Summary:
- This book is a tribute to Abid Mian Lal Mian Syed - the man and his work. His exceptional technical skill and his artistic eye, in a career spanning 70 years, produced hundreds of striking black and white images that are a treasure of India's photographic heritage.
- He first gained a reputation as the most loved official state photographer for the royal families of Palanpur in Gujarat and of other princely states of India in the 1920s. He went on to become a talented portraitist and was soon traveling the country to capture his perception of many diverse subjects, from landscapes to architecture and from daily life to nature. With his brilliant use of life and shadow, his genre compositions are like works of abstract art.
