1. How you started your photography?

Well, at first I was not interested in photography. I was more interested in cinematography when I was in my school days, but I don’t know how I developed the interest.

Slowly I noticed that expression through a single image without no voice is much difficult then moving images. “As I like challenges”, I gave a try on still Images and started liking it. When I started photography it was not an easy process like today, I started with Film (darkroom) processes ” it was a real fun”.

After my graduation I shifted to Delhi to pursue photography and did my PG Diploma in photography.

2. What is the role of new technology and medium in photography?

I am always in favour of new technology’s.

Technology is for to help in our day to day life, we should not be dependent to it.

In photography many people depend on technology instead  of learning it. Learning it much important then through technology one can take his/her photography into the next level.

3. Anything specific that you want to share with people?

Photography is an serious medium and interesting as other profession. There is no short cut to it.

When you do photography do it with full dedication.

4. What gives you motivation to go out and click despite having busy schedules

Through Photography I earn my bread and butter, either practising photography or  conducting workshops. So I have to be always self motivated.

Any form of Art is an self motivated profession. One has to take out time for photography. No one can impose or force any one to do photography, if one is really interested in it he/she will do it at any cost, no excuse works here. In other words excuses are not to fool any one rather fooling yourself.
