1. Tell us about your background and journey.
I have studied MSCIT and started a company for my business as well, but later on, I realized that my passion is in photography and i should do what i am passionate about so I started focusing more on my photography skills
I am not from the photography industry nor did I have any connections. I learnt by myself and started exploring the field of photography, learnt so many things while working on real assignments.
2. How and when did you realize your passion for photography?
I was always passionate about photography but never learnt it from any college or university. That does not mean I never tried myself to enroll in any particular photography course.
But when i tried to do so, I realized that the courses being offered were not good enough for what i was looking for. So I started to learn by myself, and there came a time after a few years of experience in the field when I thought i should start teaching and training other photographers.
So now I am working as a mentor of 600+ students and also a commercial photographer
3. What are some tips you would like to share with amateur photographers?
The Photography field is all about practice, the more you practice the better you get at your art so keep on shooting as much as you can. Try learning new skills and improve your deliverables.
4. What are the important skills one should have to be a successful photographer?
Understanding the art, marketing skills, and obviously the lighting and technical skills. When you combine all you are ready to jump into the market and explore your categories and options.
5. What are the various opportunities available for aspiring photographers?
In the digital world, photography has become an essential part of the marketing industry. From ecommerce to campaigns everywhere a brand or manufacturer will need your services as a photographer.
6. Which is your favorite book and why?
Sorry I do not read books, the only reading I do is via online blogs and it is all about photography but never stick to any particular book or any particular blog.
