What inspired you to become a travel photographer, and how did you start your journey? 

Photography has been a part of my life since a very early age. I remember being gifted Kodak KB10 in 6th standard as a reward for my performance in school. Ever since, the love just kept growing. After my graduation, it was the love for travel and passion for photography made me venture into the world of travel photography.

How do you choose your travel destinations? Are there any specific criteria or factors you consider? 

The most important factor that plays its part in choosing travel destinations is what time of the year am I visiting that place. With destination specific projects, the criteria changes. It becomes all about researching the place well enough to understand the local dynamics, mixing with locals to get the flavour of the city.
