3) What is the inspiration that keeps you going ?

Photography has always been my passion. I resigned from my IT desk job in Aug 2017 to complete my dream of forming a platform for photographers where they will get to learn and grow with other photographers in the community. The Photographers Blog (TPB) Team has been successful to establish the community in Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolhapur and slowly growing the network pan India. Its the passion of the TPB Team to share the knowledge with the community that inspires me and keeps me going.

4) How do you feel when your work is viewed and appreciated by a large audience?

The complements a photographer gets from the community is what keeps him motivated and inspired to keep going ahead on the journey. As a photographer, I always prefer using the best quality archival papers for prints. Honeycomb Team has always helped our team to get the best results in final prints of the exhibit. The editing and priting job done by their team is superb. When the visitors saw the prints they were very happy looking at the quality, colours, and the beauty of the images.

5) Tell us about photography and its inception.

A photographer freezes a moment in time in its actuality and shares the same moment in a form of photograph with the world. The photograph connects the viewer to the actual moment and they form timeless memories.

6) What, according to you, is photography and how do you perceive it?

For me, photography is the way I perceive the world around me. It is an expression of what I see around me, and how it makes me feel. It is also a medium which connects me with many creative minds around the globe from different fields and helps me learn new things about life. The art of photography will never seize to energize my mind to get going.
