Photography is magic and photographers are magicians who can see the unseen. I have loved photography since I was a teenager, but the birth of my first son inspired me to take more pictures and document each and every aspect of life. Travel was always another passion of mine and sooner or later I combined the two. During the course of eight years I have travelled to so many offbeat places within India. Pressing the shutter has allowed me to get to know a wide variety of strangers, their lives, behaviours and cultures.
