I was bowled over by the little nuances of shape, color, light and mood at a professional photographers shoot in my restaurant. I then realized photography could be magic if approached with passion. My journey began with assisting a professional photographer, who saw a spark in me, to better learn the tricks of the profession. My first professional camera cost me months of savings plus a few dearly loans. As in every profession, I dabbled around with small jobs initially but later jumped into the world of professional photography, full time. And my life has been a sucker for good subjects, pictures & photo stories ever since.
Food, Interiors, Products & People. I love my work and I give it my best possible shot. ‘Hope’ and ‘Hard work’ are two things I rely on, like all successful people do. My work regularly features in magazines like Better Interiors, JetWings, India Today, Society and Society Interiors, living ETC, House and Home UK, Elle Décor
The true challenge in photography is to capture emotions which tell its real purpose. And it’s certainly not easy! But this is what drives me and keeps my ball ever rolling. It has also earned me some reviews across popular media like Times of India, Smart Photography and Asian Photography Singapore magazine.
Why are you a photographer?
I was waiter in hotels and than manager and now photographer last seven years and i think i learn from life and things around me.
Do you remember any decisive moment when you felt ‘I want to be a photographer’?
Yes very well, i was working in restaurants and one firang photographer was shooting our restaurant for Conde Nast USA.He took his test shot on me and i was totally shocked to see the power of imagery and from that time i decide to learn this craft and met many of good photographers in Bangalore and finally assisted one for few months.
