ABOUT ME
I am a Visual Designer by profession, working in a reputed company called Pramati Technologies in Hyderabad. I’ve been mostly influenced by my parents and my sister who always encouraged me to do the best in my life. It was my wife who discovered my talent in photography. She gifted me a DSLR camera in Oct,2010 and since then I am nurturing this passion of photography deeply. Also, I want to name two guys who played a big role in my interest for photography . Bhaskar Dutta who really helps me a lot to know about the basics cum technicalities in photography. Another one is my fellow friend cum colleague, Shahnawaz who not only helped me to buy my camera nikon d3000 but also ignited the seed of photography within me and with whom I am presently working on some commercial assignments as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I still remember October 2010. I held a camera in my hand for the first time. Like a small kid never lets his new toy away from him, I always used to keep it in a bag and carry it with me wherever I went. Till now, I have kept that tradition going. Flickr and facebook groups like HWS, THE CCH, KPC, PE,WA etc. and many great photographers from those social networking sites helped me a lot in my early days. Like any other amateur photographer I also started taking lot of pictures without having any inclination for particular genres but slowly and steadily i realize and start adoring street photography.I started following great work of masters like Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Capa, Alex webb and many more and from india definitely Raghu rai and Raghubir Singh. Meanwhile I also started participating in lots of International Photography salon’s including popular ones like PAB BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL SALON, JPS International Salons and many more and got some acceptances as well.
