Howand when did you decide to pursue photography? Please take us through your journey. My father is my inspiration and his love for photography rubbed onto me. From a very young age, I have seen my father click pictures at various destinations we vacationed at. He taught me how to hold the camera and capture the moment. Even before mobile phones and remotes, the camera became the earliest gadget I was exposed to. I was in awe of the magic that was created by capturing and freezing moments on the lens. My family and friends encouraged and appreciated my talent, and before I even knew, I had my very own camera set.

At your age, youth are still searching for their dream. How do you find the time for photography between 10th grade homework and trying to get a good percent for college?

Lot of students are required to make choices about their career after Class 10 and I am one of them. I will eventually choose a career like many others. As far as photography is concerned, it’s my passion. I may or may not take it up as a profession. Right now, I am concentrating on giving my 10th board exams and do photography in my free time. But, I think I am well entrenched in the world of outdoor, nature, wildlife photography to never want to give it up.

There are an incredible number of nature photographers. How do you feel you stand apart?

At this age, it will not be fair to compare my work with anyone as it will put me in self-doubt. I like what I do, and I also look up to the work done by other wildlife photographers, learn from them and take good things from each of them. I am quite happy with my work and continue to learn new things.
