एक फोटोग्राफर है, जिसने शादी, फैशन और सेलेब्स फंक्शन्स और अन्य तरह के फोटोशूट को छोड़ भारतीय सेना के जांबाज जवानों को उनका फर्ज निभाते अपने कैमरे में कैद किया है। उनकी ये तस्वीरें सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हो चुकी है, जिनमें आप और हम देश के जवानों का साहस और जज्बा देख सकते हैं। यकीनन इन तस्वीरों को देखकर आप समझ जाएंगे कि हर मौसम में सरहद पर तैनात रहने वाले यह सैनिक कितने मजबूत हैं।

The Extraordinary | The Indian Army Image: @artleavesamark . . Happy #ARMYDAY ! Imagine yourself being in this scenario, even through this is just a combat drill I could feel my hands trembling as I was photographing. And my job here was probably the easiest. There was so much dust and particles in the air that I couldn’t even see my camera screen properly. As the dust settled and the drill was over, I hesitantly evaluated my images to find something or the other wrong with everything I reviewed, the grass in the wrong place, people placement, helicopter or overwhelming dust which blinded everything. Suddenly it hit me, Did I just blow up one of the most important sequence? I started panicking! . I thought let me just go over them one last time, and thankfuly stumbled upon this gem! Finally, I experienced a sigh of relief. • • • The inspiration behind this project was one person, my dad. He was a Pilot for the Indian Army Aviation, like most kids that age I used to feel that dad was the coolest. I mean imagine flying a heavy metal machine, in some of the most harshest environments on earth (above the Himalayas to Rainforests and deserts), performing combat training, resume etc. We lost him to a helicopter crash 16 years ago. Somewhere deep inside I wanted to highlight what the life in the army is for some of these men and women in a contemporary way. That was the inception of project: The Extraordinary. The Indian Army is known to be one of the most versatile armed forces across the globe. But most of all, this is tribute to my dad. 🙂 .

इसका जवाब है अर्जुन मेनन। जी हां, अर्जुन एक ट्रैवल फोटोग्राफर हैं। उन्होंने अपनी इन तस्वीरों के जरिए देश के सुपरहीरोज को सलाम किया है।

The Extraordinary | The Indian Army Image: @artleavesamark . . Medical evacuation! Indian Army aviation conducts some of the most challenging medical evacuations, let it be during natural calamities like floods, earthquakes or during combat scenarios. My mission was to show a contemporary side to the Indian Armed Forces with the help of the @indianarmy.adgpi • • • The inspiration behind this project was one person, my dad. He was a Pilot for the Indian Army Aviation, like most kids that age I used to feel that dad was the coolest. I mean imagine flying a heavy metal machine, in some of the most harshest environments on earth (above the Himalayas to Rainforests and deserts), performing combat training and helping out paratroopers jump of his helicopter and calling it a days work. Growing up, “G.I Joe” used to be my favourite cartoon show but I used to think my dad does all these things everyday without anyone even making it a big deal. We lost him to a helicopter crash 16 years ago. Somewhere deep inside I wanted to highlight what the life in the army is for some of these men and women in a contemporary way. That was the inception of project: The Extraordinary. The Indian Army is known to be one of the most versatile armed forces across the globe. The project aims to explore and highlight these extraordinary men, women and machines that make this organisation so diverse, multicultural and a unique force. I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to photograph a few training, pseudo combat and practice sessions of the Indian Army for this project in remote bases across India. But most of all, this is tribute to my dad. 🙂 . I’m wholeheartedly thankful to everyone who made this possible, just a dream come true!

फोटोग्राफर अर्जुन के पिता भारतीय वायु सेना में पायलट थे, जिन्हें अर्जुन ने करीब 16 साल पहले एक हेलीकॉप्टर दुर्घटना में खो दिया।

This was another of those moments I had to pinch myself to realise I was actually photographing this!
