“My journey with the lens began long before I understood the technicalities of aperture or shutter speed. Since my school days, photography has been my way of ‘pausing time’—a tool to freeze the fleeting moments shared with friends and family into lifelong memories.

As my career as an IT professional grew more demanding, my camera became more than just a hobby; it became a sanctuary. My love for nature eventually intertwined with my photography, specifically blossoming into a deep affinity for my feathered friends. This passion for birding has driven me to explore the patience and precision required for bird photography, alongside my interests in misty landscapes, seascapes, and other genres. Immersed in nature with my camera in hand, the noise of a hectic professional life fades away, acting as a vital stress-buster and a creative reset.

For me, photography is a lifelong pursuit of turning today’s moments into tomorrow’s most cherished memories. Whether I am capturing a peacock in full display or documenting my daughter Vihana’s own growing curiosity with the camera, I see every frame as a step toward mastering this art form.

Beyond a personal creative outlet, I hope and want my photos to act as a tool for conservation. By documenting and sharing the beauty of birds and the natural world, I aim to foster an awareness of the often-ignored life around us.”
