Being avid traveler he always felt a need to capture moments which he could reflect upon later & let others also be part of his experience. His first camera was a very modest point and shoot. As time passed by he felt the need to go for a basic DSLR camera which could be said as a growth for him as a photographer. As he started to use DSLR it got him more interested in photography. His life was becoming more hi-def now. This made him more inclined towards being a photographer. He left his IT job to become a professional Photographer. He always try to capture the moment in his lens which he could cherish as a part of himself. If anything catches his eye, he is drawn to it because of some part of his personality. He always consider the “unseen" the things that are not so obvious in an individual or a landscape, so it is his attempt to capture the essence of life or a personality. He loves to highlight the things that he takes for granted or merely overlook in a day. All of these things & more inspire him. So he consider photography as a means to capture & prolong a connection with himself & the world around him.
