I live in New Delhi, am an Engineer by education, a part of the top management of an American I.T Services company by profession, and a learning photo artist by passion. Having been bored to death by corporate nothingness in various parts of the world for nearly 25 years, I took to the streets with my camera around 7 years back in search of a better meaning.
For the first 4 years of my journey, I followed the trends of street photography. I have never been into competitions seriously, but during this time, some of my work got exhibited in various international group exhibitions (e.g., in a few Italian cities, Moscow, Hamburg, Dubai, etc.) and printed in various international/ national magazines. I am also a member of iN-PUBLiC and TTL collectives.
Artistic passion for creating a work of art and the craving for joy when such rare occasions happen were always there in me and will be there in the future too. However, I felt a growing need about a year ago that before trying to become an artist, one must first understand the time and place that one lives in and their socio-political evolution. The moments that I express in my images must come out of such deep experiences. I am therefore trying street documentaries on social themes these days – to be myself. Over the last few years, I figured out through my failures how much subject matter understanding, time (which I don't have – due to my professional commitments), and dedicatication are needed for what I want to do!
