What inspired you to seek a profession in photography? Could you please tell us a little bit about Harshith Dambekodi Photography?
As a kid I stumbled upon my Dad’s Canon AE-1 35mm film camera with 50mm lens and the photographs he had documented in his time spent in the States. The idea of capturing moments in a camera seemed mesmerising. This got me subconsciously hooked on to this beautiful medium. Moving forward, I got into a Fine art collage (Karnataka Chitra Kala Parishad), Bangalore, India. Here I had my first hand in dark-room technique exposures. Since painting (https:// www.harshithdambekodi.com/pencil-charcoal) was my main medium of expression, photography was just a hobby. I experimented with painting a lot but photography gave me a sense of myself and life I wanted to lead. In coming years, I worked as an art director in an advertising agency called Ogilvy & Mather from 2006 - 2008 and then the great recession hit and I was sacked (Reason - my boss comes up to me and says since I have a coffee plantation and financially sound compared to my colleagues please make the sacrifice needed). This opened up a whole new window to look into other career options and thus I took up photography as a main stream and rest is history. But now if I get to meet him I will definitely give him a big hug. The one person who truly guided me to in-depth of photography is my mentor Mr. Farrokh Chothia, one of the greatest photographer I have ever known.

EACH DIVE A BATTLE, EACH ASCENT A QUIET VICTORY:
When Mark Smith speaks about birds, he doesn’t talk like a photographer chasing the perfect frame. He speaks like a witness—someone who has spent years observing, listening and quietly learning from the natural world. Winning the HIPA Award this year may have brought his work global recognition, but for Smith, the moment still feels unreal. Bhavya Desai spoke to him about his love for birds and more. Excerpts:

BEST CAMERAS OF 2025
Competition doesn't sleep, and 2025 was no exception for the quote. The imaging industry went through a makeover of sorts, as we saw a shift of priority from companies, which led to them making cameras which were more hybrid in nature. This year we saw the Nikon-RED merger further fruitioning into a compact, competitive cinema camera and Canon releasing one in a similar form factor but with different capabilities and priority. In this round up, we list the cameras that brought something new to the table. Just like last year, we aren't including lenses, drones or action cameras or cinema cameras even though they've got so much in common with their mirrorless cousins.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review
It's time to dig out the Canon-Nikon rivalry from the DSLR era! Last year when we reviewed Nikon's Z6 III, we concluded that it's a solid buy with no real competition in the space. Well, that has certainly changed with the launch of the new Canon EOS R6 III. Priced at *₹2.44L puts it above its entry-level sibling - the R8 and below the flagship R5, R3 & R1 bodies. It also squarely sits in the same price bracket as the Nikon Z6 III which is interesting for the competition!
