Rediscovering Photography

My love for photography began in1986 when I bought my first camera. The ’90s saw this passion take a backseat as family and work took center stage. But in 2014, during a visit to a camera shop in New Delhi, I reconnected with this love, getting myself a Nikon D750 and diving back into the world of photography. This revived journey led to personal growth embracing fitness, health and self-care to fully enjoy this passion.

In 2017, I met Katsuyoshi “Katsu”Tanaka, a globally recognized photographer. Under his guidance, my skills flourished. Our group’s travels, capturing breathtaking moments, and exchanging experiences have been unforgettable.

 

Uniting Two Worlds

In 2022, I was invited to speak at a Business Intelligence & Data Analysts summit in Oregon. I discussed “Visualization” – drawing parallels between my roles as a photographer and a corporate leader. The ability to see and interpret, both in photos and data, was my focus. View my presentation.
