I was born on April 1990 in New
Delhi. My dad being in Indian Army
has travelled across different
destinations in India.
Now I am pursuing B.com final year
in M S Ramaiah College of Arts
Science & Commerce in Bangalore.
I think my interest in photography
came from my dad. But, for him photography
means clicking my photos. I
still have the 27 year old camera that
he used.
I got my first camera (point and shoot
from Canon) when I was in my 10th
class in Rashtriya Military School,
Bangalore. I I first started By Clicking
Photos of different events, functions
and tours conducted by the school.
To my surprise few of my photos got
exhibited by the school photography
club during our annual day and this
exhibition has definitely motivated
me to do better with my photography.
I got my first DSLR a year ago and
started learning photography on my
own. Social media and different
magazine on photography was the major
means to learn photography for me. Till
now I haven’t attended any classes on
photography.
I have won a photography contest conducted
by BMS college of Engineering
in Bangalore. According to me photography
is a continuous process of
learning and experimenting with
different settings. Being an amateur
photographer I would like to add one
have to be active on social media and
marketing of this skill apart from learning
and taking great clicks. To me nature
& wildlife is the biggest motivation to
do better with my photography skills.
Sometimes I have to wait long for the
right click but when I get the right click ,
Which I aimed for, My happiness knows
No Bounds.
Along with my studies I get time only
during weekends to go out into the field
for birding, landscape and macro photography.
I even go out in nights during
the weekdays for long exposure frames
across different locations across
Bangalore.
As of now I want to graduate and work
in my stream as well as take photography
at the same time because
“Photography” is what I enjoy doing
whatever the situation is ,irrespective of
the time.
