Painting is my First love... but I am living with my second love.. Photography! I am photographer by passion and profession, A self taught photographer – born on 14th March at Depalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. My inclination towards performing arts, be it music, dance or theatre started too early in life. Turning the pages of Russian magazines I was inspired by the beautiful and amazing pictures. I longed to own a camera, so, along with my elder brother saved some pocket money to buy my dream my first camera Agfa Isoly II. I can never forget the moment, the joy of my prized possession After graduation I took a job as a medical representative, this gave me an opportunity to travel extensively, but by the end, it was tiring, boring and monotonous. In course of time I realized that this was not my field, basically an artist by heart, my restless soul wanted to capture faces, colour, movements and rhythm. The urge was to strong and soon I gave up my job. Photography, painting and theatre were my hobbies; I opted for photography, because it was more closer to my heart, more expressive and more creative. Photography became my passion and profession now, I enjoy doing Industrial, product photography and also capturing artists there expressions, the vibrant colours, graceful movements and rhythm.
