What inspired you to pursue photography as a career, and what drives your passion for it?

For God's grace, I was inclined towards the world of photography after my SSC exams..I was encouraged by my father Ashish sompura who himself is a renowned photographer to take up this profession after he saw the potentials in me..As a kid, whenever I would click pictures, I never thought that I shall be a photographer..I didn't have any plans. My interest towards photography started developing slowly during college days while assisting my father.I got opportunities to cover events and do outdoor shoots. My passion for photography is driven by a deep appreciation for storytelling, emotion, and the beauty found in everyday moments. There are lot of interesting moments happening around you and you feel like capturing that moment. Every photograph /frame tells you a different story whether it's a person,place or a object.. The cameras and lenses help you to see the world differently.

How do you balance your creative work with the commercial aspects of photography?
