i love capturing moments and the stories they hold.

photography helps me clear my mind and makes me feel happy, excited, and calm.

i developed an interest when i was in the 8th grade. our school took us on our annual trip to a heritage site, where i got permission from my mom to take her phone with me to click pictures, and i was so happy. i clicked so many pictures; whatever i found intriguing got saved on the phone. that's when i realized the true beauty of photography.

following that trip, i started taking pictures regularly. flowers, people, pets, birds, or sunrises and sunsets— i was completely immersed.

one of the most rewarding decisions i took in college was becoming a member of the photography club. through this, i was able to meet so many talented people. special mention to my friend advay, who constantly used to provide constructive criticism on what worked well and what could be improved on the pictures i took. learned a lot, thankyou a.

the conversations we used to have in the club groups helped me learn so much. made me smile all the time. you see how amazing that is.

subsequently, started reading the fundamentals of photography - how to frame a picture, various compositions, and got familiar with the manual settings.

even though i don't own a dslr, my friends have been there for me by giving me theirs, which I have taken on field trips, photo walks, photography competitions and other events. thankyou so much advay, dev, piyush and sparsh.

these are some of my favourite pictures that I clicked while on various expeditions and competitions.

keep making CORE memories my people.
