“It was at a relative’s wedding where I was asked by my cousin to click a few pictures with the DSLR. Having never held a professional camera before, I was a little jittery. The camera was in auto mode and I decided to go for it! That was when I instantly fell in love with the process of taking pictures. That was when I fell in love with photography.

My uncle came over to me, looked at the pictures and said: “Hey! You’ve got a good eye. You should consider doing this professionally.” From that point on, I decided that this is what I want to do. I started watching plenty of online videos and applied it practically by clicking pictures with the help of my friend’s camera. I decided to make a career out of this. With great difficulty, I was able to convince my father, and finally bought my favourite Sony camera after my Intermediate, last year. When I got my first camera, I was on cloud nine. I was enamoured with the beauty that the world had to offer. I captured everything: macro photos of flowers to photos of people from all walks of life. I never looked back after that.

Growing up, like most, I have always been told how important it is to study well and get settled. Even though I wanted to take photography as my career, on the other hand, I had to keep my parent’s concerns in mind. So I decided to also pursue my bachelors in architecture. I am blessed to have such amazing parents who motivate me all the time, give me all their love and most importantly, give me the space to be myself.

I have no idea where my photography journey would take me or how I would manage to give time to this and a job later in my life. All I know is, in this fast paced world, there’s no harm in learning new skills and multitasking. I am doing just that and so far at least, it’s been a lot of fun!”
