Stopping moments from running away

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Singapore | Saturday, November 17, 2012 | 5 photos

I grew up in Nashik in Maharashtra (India). Since I was little I have always been fascinated by photography.When you are passionate about something, the energy and desire to pursue the passion wells up within you; it happens spontaneously, without effort on your part. My passion for photography has always been hidden within me, but it exploded in the years 2010 and 2011 while I was in Mumbai and Singapore. I felt the need to take pictures, not as tourist, but very special shots that represented my emotions from different angles. Photography is not mechanical. The pursuit of passion is satisfying and rewarding in the present moment. Well, when I take a picture inspires me a place where I am, I love taking pictures of people, their smiles, telling a moment. There is nothing that fills me more. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. I regard photography not as a simple means in which to earn money, but rather as a way in which to challenge and express myself. I always take time to carefully plan and execute each of my concepts, and never produce mediocre work solely for the lure of cash.
