1) Would you tell us more about you and your interest in Photography?

Born and bought up in Bengaluru. Marketing lead by profession in one of the leading cutting tools manufacturing corporate.

2) Can you please tell us about the types of Photography you indulge with?

Every frame is special with a message if not a thought. I find nature really fascinating and hence prefer landscapes. I also prefer people portraits. A facial expression says a lot of things without speaking. [caption id="attachment_757" align="aligncenter" width="671"] Gurez Valley, Kashmir[/caption]

5) Can you tell us something about Photography and its inception?

I love to travel, a lot. Everything I look at or interact with has a message/story to tell, sometimes I couldn’t find the right words to convey the same, whereas when I looked back at the pictures they conveyed the message better than I could in any form, hence from then on it was always my pictures that does the narration.
