CAPTURING LIFE'S MOMENTS THROUGH THE LENS

In the world of photography, there are those who take pictures, and then there are artists who capture life's moments and emotions through their lens. Mohin Sawant, a passionate photographer from the vibrant state of Goa, belongs to the latter category. His journey into photography began as a hobby, but it didn't take long for him to realize that it was much more than that.

A Passion-Turned Profession

For Mohin, photography was not just a hobby; it was a calling that ignited a spark within him like nothing else. Despite initial familial opposition, his determination to pursue his dreams remained unwavering. "Photography is a work of art, a skill that should be mastered and executed well," Mohin emphasizes. Coming from a scientific background, it was his unwavering dedication that guided him towards the world of photography.

The turning point in his journey occurred in 2014 when he won a photography contest held by Vidhya Vrudhi Sanstha. "I saw my dreams turning into reality," Mohin recalls with a smile. It was the moment when he realized that photography was not just a hobby; it was a way of life. "When I started enjoying my work with my lens, I started LIVING my life," he adds, reflecting on how the joy he found in photography transcended the realm of mere hobby.

Victories That Inspire

Winning prizes in photography contests is a testament to Mohin's exceptional talent. He shares his emotions and experiences from his victories in the Vidhya Vrudhi Sanstha and Rotary Club competitions, stating, "Every time I look back to the times of my victory, I feel proud, proud of that soul who was courageous enough to present his art in front of others."
