Discovering the Magic of Photography
As an aspiring photographer, I embarked on a journey to capture moments that would last a lifetime. Among the countless pictures, one stands out as a unique representation of my obsession and love for the moon. Photo taking, for me, is more about the experience and the emotions evoked rather than the technical perfection.
Spotting the Moon's Beauty
Moon photography has always been a particular fascination. My camera captures scenes that, although mundane in everyday life, reveal beauty that I may otherwise miss. This personal pursuit is not driven by a quest for perfection, but rather by a profound feeling of closeness and attachment. Among the subjects I photograph are Ani, who deeply resonates with my soul and brings a sense of closeness and consciousness to my work.
A True Photographer's Perspective
Photography for me is more than just taking the best picture; it is a journey of self-discovery and a means to capture moments that tell a story. There is no single 'best photograph' for me, as every shot is a reflection of the emotions and intentions behind the click.
The Indian Railways Experience
Of all the experiences, one particular photo stands out: capturing the serene beauty of the Indian Railways in SMVT Bangalore railway station. This image was taken during my journey back from Bangalore to Howrah Junction. This photo represents the essence of my passion for photography - it's about capturing the beauty of life and the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.
While I often photograph nature, abstract subjects, and even animals, my true love for personal and meaningful photos has always been the driving force. Currently, the trend of posting highly engaging content on social media platforms has influenced many, including me. However, my question to everyone who seeks photo perfection is simple: Why? The focus should be on the experience and the moment, rather than the number of likes or followers.
Reflections and Insights
Photography is not just about taking pictures; it's about capturing the spirit of the moment, the beauty of the world around us, and the emotional connection we share with the subjects we photograph. My love affair with photography began in 2007, with the purchase of my first DSLR. Since then, my perspective of life has altered, and the world has become a more scenic and beautiful place to live in.
Here are some of my cherished photographs, not my best ones, as the best is yet to come. Each image is a snapshot of a moment that has touched my heart and soul.
Sample Photo Descriptions
I thought this is the best one: This photo captures the essence of small treasures waiting to be unleashed, blending fragility with resilience. It's a testament to the beauty found in the ordinary moments of life.
These experiences have shaped me as a photographer and have made my passion more meaningful. Whether it's the quiet beauty of the railways or the emotional connection to someone close, every photograph tells a story.
