You don't make a photograph just with a camera.
You bring to the act of photography all the visuals you have seen,
places you have explored, the books you have read,
and the music you have heard.
Ansel Adams
Travel is an integral part of our lives. In my case, a visit to Kashmir with my friends turned out to be the most life-transforming experience. I had my Canon DSLR
with me and I remember being utterly mesmerised by the beauty of Dal lake.
I just couldn’t stop taking pictures.
​
Up until then, all through school, college and my career in advertising, I had followed a process; of learning what was taught and delivering what was expected. But travel and photography was a lethal and heady combination. It made me unlearn everything and look at everything with a fresh perspective. There were no rules and you could turn the world on its head.
​
Since then I have consciously taken up assignments that have given me the opportunity to explore new vistas. Even when not on any assignment I like
to explore places, looking for unique stories of art, culture, heritage and how people live their lives. I try and talk to people, absorb as much as i can, taking notes. Once I get back I put it down in a blog.
