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

I am an Insurance professional, in marketing for more than thirty years.Working with LIC of India in Bangalore, spent most of my life in Bangalore itself.I developed an interest in photography quite late in life after I turned 50 years!, as I was bored with doing the same thing in life, like going to the office, selling life insurance, reaching targets etc.I was lucky to find the right kind of people who inspired me to take up photography in 2012. Started with a basic camera and lens, to begin with, and graduated to professional grade equipment.

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

Basically, I started into bird photography, but now I do wildlife and landscapes too.

Just being in forest and nature gives me immense satisfaction, peace of mind. When I see beautiful birds and when I capture it in my camera I feel elated and that inspires me to go back to forest again and again.

Feel very happy when my work is appreciated at the exhibitions, and when I can inspire some other people to enjoy the nature the way it is and preserve it for the future generations to come.
