Hi !
Glad to see you here,
It's been quite a journey for me…
As the quote goes the journey is as important as the destination..here we go.
My love for Photography started with Mouna Ragam in 1986 when I was a kid in school, PC Sreeram the Cinematographer just blew my mind off.... PC through his films has been my Guru since then... Mani Ratnam’s movies played a major role in understanding the beauty of visuals and the magic they create… Huge Inspiration is also Peter Lindbergh for his Genuine Portrayals in Fashion Photography.. The Learning is constantly on…
In the Early 90's my Uncle taught me to use a SLR - it was a good old SLR camera called "Practica".. and I started putting film rolls and valued every scene and frame before hitting the shutter. That's a lesson which stays even now.. Shoot to tell a story not like a machine gun.. Went ahead and completed my MBA in Marketing and worked in different fields and my own business for more than a decade, and then first love comes back hard and strong.. Love for Photography.. :)
Self learnt through the internet, books, movies and a few workshops later here I am... and the learning is always on.
Have been shooting professionally full time for quite a while and It takes enormous pride and happiness in shooting so many memories through my path...
