I still remember how I got my first camera while I was in my school there was promotion of Cadbury's chocolate in which chocolate lovers should collect enough wrappers to earn gifts, one of which was Micro 110 camera , I collected wrappers for months an got my first manual camera. Since then I had love for photography and my photography journey begins. I was always unsatisfied with my work as I used to compare with other photographer and always found some mistakes.
But soon I realized that photography is not only an art form, but also an experience. Every time I am behind the lens, it's a new opportunity to see the world differently, and to tell a story that is unique to that moment.
The technical aspects of photography are important, but it's the emotional connection that I make with my subject that makes each photograph truly meaningful. The way the light falls on a face, the way a person interacts with their surroundings, the way a landscape can evoke a feeling- all of these are the elements that make a photograph come alive.
Being a photographer is not just about taking pictures, but also about building relationships and understanding people. A great portrait photographer knows how to make their subject feel comfortable and relaxed, and how to bring out their true personality. And being a photojournalist, I learn about different cultures and communities, and I have the opportunity to tell their stories in a way that is both informative and impactful.
Photography is not just a job, it's a way of life. It's about being present in the moment and seeing the beauty in the world around us. It's about the joy of capturing a special moment and preserving it forever. And it's about the connection we make with the people and the world around us.
