My name is Faiz Sikandar.I am a resident of India, born and raised in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. I did my graduation with Mathematics as my major subject with Physics and Chemistry as minors. My parents wanted me to be an engineer (or a scientist may be), however I was not sure of what I had to do until I heard from a friend about a photography course last year. Luckily, the course happened to be in the same university from which I did my graduation. It was an year long course which will certify me as a post-graduate diploma in photography.
I was keen to join the course but had no knowledge about the DSLR (not even the full-form of the same). After I got over with my final year exams I started figuring out things about the camera like "Aperture", "Shutter","ISO" etc. After 9 days of preparation I took the exam and with God's grace cleared it along with a personnel interview.The photography course started from 8th August,2012 and its still running. Now, when I look back in time, and the experiences I had in 6 months with my DSLR, I surely am confident enough about my photography and the reason I should be selected will be "I learn quick, I apply them in my photography even quicker".
