I’m a photographer and an aspiring filmmaker, highly passionate and motivated to express my thoughts and ideas through visual language of stills and motion imagery. I have keen interest in fine art; therefore,
I like to combine different art forms. I am also passionate about music traveling, biking, poetry and sustainable living.
I have learned photography and have been practicing the art for four years, which further persuaded me to learn the skill of motion picture and the process of film making. While exploring various kinds of photography, I developed immense will, intention, determination and motivation to pursue the discipline of conservation photography and contribute towards documenting communities working at grassroots for various social issues, wildlife, nature and climate change. I’m looking forward to start working with a group of people that share my love for photography, cinematography and nature. I have specific interest in documenting the initiatives being taken, initiatives that inspire others to strive and thrive towards conserving nature - rivers, oceans, wildlife, forests and creating a sustainable future. Currently I am living in Toronto, Canada on my international work visa and my native is in India.
Photography to me is an outlet to pour my heart out and a window to express my inner self - walking selflessly towards the light of something bigger than myself - finding and dissolving myself into others. Each picture inspires me to practice the art more, directing me towards sharing awareness and consciousness regarding our mutual responsibility to care, respect and understand mother Nature and all the species that call her home. If we connect with nature we can experience depth of the oceans, playfulness of rivers, infinity of the stars, sun and moon within ourselves.
I would be highly grateful and thankful from my heart if you could please consider going through my website. I can't express in words how eager and enthusiastic I am to grab opportunity that would open doors and ways for me to start involving myself in the field of conservation of Mother Nature and photography, for which I have been waiting and trying consistently. It would be my honour if I could serve and assist as a photographer/videographer - team member for documenting the work being done for environmental conservation and community development in collaboration with native/local communities and grassroots NGOs. I would love to be a part of the organization as a team member for on field initiatives - to be a helping hand by the side of people working towards a sustainable growth. I am inspired and comforted by learning about the efforts being done to protect our Mother Nature around the world and also that when we all come together and collaborate, it makes a bigger impact - an amalgamation of ideas, initiatives, energies, strength, determination and perseverance; blossoming our spirits. I want to, to the truest intention and realist approach nurture and include myself in nature, wildlife and us people - all growing and prospering together. I want to make a difference and plant the seeds of sustainable tomorrow through photography and participation, so our coming generations can acknowledge the beauty, vastness, mysticism, unaltered selflessness, purposefulness and our bond with nature. To be a tiny fragment..segment of the actual efforts happening/being taken to conserve the environment and people standing strong for peace, togetherness and well being of all.
Words will fall short for how positively and undoubtedly I want to divinely devote..offer the imperfectly complete I have as skills and as a person. It is like what a drop of rain is to the ocean and in turn ocean is to the rain, even if I am able to offer the smallest I have, it will have it's purpose fulfilled. Through photo and video documentation I want to spread the message to as many people as I can reach for what it is to feel more than being connected to Mother Nature, to incorporate well being of nature in our everyday lives and to prosper in harmony with nature..including her in our growth as a diverse global community - who other than indigenous, tribal and native people can portray the bond shared - to be a part of it. I am on the journey to break the barriers of my mind and to travel beyond my self oriented self to make sure a life - a person, a tree, an ocean, a river has felt comforted, light-hearted, relieved, revived and at ease.
