My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

To me photography has always been therapeutic, it's a way of life. It's a different world altogether or rather it's a transformational experience. Its transports me to a different world, world where I am not a designer but a social commentator.
Photography is a world where you have to become one with the camera and witness the world together. My inclination has always been more towards photo journalism as it is not staged. it's meant to seen, witnessed and captured.
Designer by profession, I have a really hectic schedule and have very little time for my passion.
But as you know if one wants to pursue something, one should go after it.
I steal time out of my busy schedule and just be on the streets even at 46 degrees of temperature.

I love to travel as I get to know different people, different cultures, their history and I find photography as the best medium to document all of that.
Born and brought up in a middle class family, I don't have any formal training. This is where the role of scholarship comes in. Your esteemed mentorship will help me sharpen my skills and the practical knowledge would make a better photojournalist.
