Despite two very different mediums, graphic artist Praveen Yarramilli & photographer / videographer Rahul Nair do have one thing that's very much in common. They are both brilliant visual storytellers, each with a unique take on the everyday essence of Goan life.
With one aspect in particular they've both taken a moment to pay tribute to, the Pilots. Goa's renowned motorbike taxis.
Select work from Praveen Yarramilli's 'Goa on the Surface' series.
This illustration is perfect. With its retro / vintage aesthetic & modern digital technique, it somehow captures the character and timelessness of the classic Goan taxi bike driver to a T.
Rahul Nair's 'Pilots of Goa'
We also love love love this video! From the way it was filmed & edited, to the music and honest perspective he's chosen to share. It's great and we can't wait to see more.
Here's a bit more info on both of these talented Goa based artists:

Rahul Nair
Rahul is a wicked Keralite born, Bombay raised, Goa based photographer with a keen eye for the often overlooked. And while he has only dabbled into two short films thus far, we have a feeling this is just the beginning of great things to come.
