My journey into photography began in my school days around 1997, when my father introduced me to my first camera a Yashica MF-2 point-and-shoot film camera. As a child, I used it to capture moments during family outings, school trips, and gatherings. I still remember photographing places like Hogenakkal Falls, Ooty, Sathanur Dam, and Talakona moments that sparked my early curiosity for visual storytelling.

After a long break, I rediscovered my interest in photography and began to explore it more seriously. Joining TPS played a significant role in shaping my understanding, helping me learn the fundamentals of composition, light, and storytelling.

I am particularly drawn to landscapes and natural environments, where light, atmosphere, and depth come together to create a sense of calm and emotion. I also enjoy experimenting with portraits and macro subjects, focusing on details and expressions that often go unnoticed.

For me, photography is a continuous learning process and a way to connect with the world around me. I strive to create images that are simple, meaningful, and emotionally engaging.
