The Embrace Of Nature
When and how did you start pursuing photography?
I love nature and enjoy trekking very much. It is something that I have been doing for a few years now. Photography for me is more than just a hobby, it helps me relax. So I manage to take some time off my regular 9 to 5 job and travel all the way to the Himalayas every year or somewhere towards the south just to enjoy the nature. I have done a lot of trekking in the western ghats as well as the Himalayas. I have never restricted myself to landscape photography. Since I am a passionate trekker and traveller, you might find more of my landscape shots. I try to document all my travel stories through my photography and my blog. I wish to show to the world how beautiful mother nature is. I take my 14-24mm f/2.8 wideangle lens everywhere just to capture the mesmerizing landscapes.
Who are your mentors who helped to shape your photographic skills?
I have been following a lot of people, and I always try to learn from their work. It helps me understand how certain photographs are composed. I haven’t undergone any formal training in photography. But I have attended a lot of seminars conducted by renowned photographers where they share their travel stories, experiences and talk about various assignments they’ve worked on. This has really helped me shape my photographic skills.
