ABOUT

I live in Tucson, AZ and I am originally from Mumbai, India. I have been here for almost five years and I should say I love this town.

Over the years, I have developed a strong passion for photography. I spend the rest of the time processing the pictures that I shoot. I absolutely love strong colors in my photographs and ofcourse I am a big fan of black and white photography too which I think is challenging.

I have always been fascinated by photography. My dad is a photographer so I always take his advice on the pictures that I shoot. I firmly believe in post production. People say that your photographs should look like what your eye sees through the camera. However, I use alot of techniques to make my photographs look more colorful and surreal. So I don't fall under the category of photographers who do not process their pictures at all.

I don't have any particular favorite subject in photography. I capture what appeals to me. However, I have mostly shot nature and portraits . I have been posting alot of pictures on photoblog Web sites. I strongly believe that if you have to be good at something then you have to learn it from someone who is too good. Without that it's not possible to reach the goal. I wish to continue doing photography along with graphic design. There is still alot to learn about this expensive hobby.

I started with a regular point shoot digital camera. Currently I shoot with Canon 40D. My dream camera would be a full frame Canon 1Ds Mark II along with a collection of 'L' lenses.

I do candid portrait sessions and would love to do wedding photography.
