MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

Ashok Kallagunta is a software engineer who started his photographic journey in 2016. Generally, he likes travelling and capturing images on his mobile phone. On realising that he needed a break from his routine work, he purchased a D-SLR camera and started travelling to nearby places. He met a lot of amazing photographers. He then started attending seminars on photography and the genre of macro photography peaked his interest. Amazed by the world of macro photography, he decided to start exploring it further.

Archives of Nature

Himadri is a professional photographer from Assam, with an academic background in Geography and Environmental Planning (double masters). “Photography has been an integral part of my life since 1998. However, my first major travel and photography experience happened in 2006 when I travelled to Gujarat, Odisha, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for work. The experience in itself was ‘ground-truthing’ and somewhere between shifting jobs and moving across cities during 2009-2013, I realised that my true calling is photography and creative arts. I have worked with several genres in photography like - wedding, product, industrial, events and festivals, documentation etc., but my heart and soul lie in Landscape and Portraits. My first major achievement was getting published in ‘Daily Dozen’ by NatGeo Your Shot (Apr, 2014) and being one of the winners of their assignment ‘Nature in Black and White’. The assignment winning image was later published in the book ‘Getting Your Shot’ and the National Geographic Magazine. Since then, I haven’t really kept a track of my achievements as every single one of them has been a stepping stone to attain the next milestone, until recently, when I received ‘The Night Sky Award’ in ILPOTY 2020” says Himadri.
