2) How and when you started your journey as a photographer?

People often ask me that are you a photographer. When I tell them that I am working as a Social Media Person and  Photography is my passion specially landscape photography, their response often goes along the line of: “That’s interesting… hang on… whoa, what do you mean? What is landscape photography?”

3) What is your favorite genre of photography and why?

Landscape or can say Nature Photography. Nature Photography is a fascinating hobby ! You casually pick-it up when you go on a nature trek or a hill drive trip or when you visit a high altitude lake or something similar. You buy a camera initially to “take” a few “snaps” on your trips. Chances are you may take this as passion or hobby. Here starts my fascinating journey as a nature photographer.

4) Apart from your favorite genre what other genres you occasionally try your hands on?

I’ll go for  Adventure Photography. The name is pretty straightforward. Adventure photography is simply the act of photographing adventures, typically in the outdoors. It’s a niche defined by stunning landscapes, dynamic personalities, and challenging, ever-changing shooting conditions.

5) Honestly in recent time wedding photography and portrait Photography are high in demand and many quality photographers are doing great job in these particular genres. In such scenario where Landscape photography stands?

Photography is an ART. I never click for money; I use to click for my inner peace, something that I love to see. A moment that I wanna capture for a lifetime. Photography is an art weather It’s a wedding or landscape.

6) What’s the concept behind Landscape photography?

By Definition: Landscape Photography is just that: pictures of nature or landscapes.
According to me it’s A stunning sunrise, Majestic mountains, Rushing rivers, Nature can be awe-inspiring, and photography is an excellent medium through which to capture the beauty of a landscape. Landscape photography can be a way to see the world in all its glory and show art through life. But finding that perfect frame isn’t restricted to anything. You are FREE to click.

Every photographer (and artist in general) experiences up and down periods of creation. At times, you’re producing your best work and things move quickly. Other times, droughts are experienced when finishing good work feels distant.
