About

Even though none of the creative and artistic hobby enticed me for a long time, one thing I was always curious about was why some pictures looked so amazing. That mystery fascinated me. It led me to talk with one photographer who suggested me to attend the free workshop from one photography professor. I went to the workshop to understand the basic concepts about photography. He allowed me to take few pictures with his camera. At the end of 3 days of workshop, the professor (Ketan Modi) was impressed by my photography skills. He suggested me to use his camera for few more days. Really happy with this opportunity, I went on the streets of India and started street photography. I enjoyed photography so much that it started as escapism from the stressful medical school studies. I decided photography would be my life long hobby. Over subsequent few years, I continued doing street photography and one of my photograph was selected in National Geographic. Being a street photographer, I never had exposure to do fashion or wedding photography. With photography just as a hobby, I started studying for further training in the US. At the same time, I started research in Phoenix, AZ. I met my husband there who I fell in love with and we got married. In the US, buying photography gears was possible and I started experimenting with strobes, etc. I started going to meet ups where I met many creative people. Also, I found many other resources of learning like workshops, creative live, etc. All these events ignited my mind and I realized how much I love photography
