View and viewers
I love to see the small drama of everyday life as it is staged on the streets. Common people are my heroes and heroines who play themselves in this drama. I’m just a keen observer, a mere admirer and my job here is just to capture the candid, unposed and unguarded moments of this fascinating ‘Real Life’ drama through my own vision. I don’t interrupt or influence this show. I accept it as it is, in its original and purest form. I believe that reality can be stranger and more fascinating than what I can think of. To me that's the charm of photography.
As of now, I'm learning to 'See' and 'Express' my vision through my own visual language. I'm loving the journey and I always want to remain a student of Photography.

entry description
As a street photographer I am drawn towards a view and the viewers. Sometimes I compose my frame with only the viewers with no clue of what is happening beyond the frame. I love the pictures which raise questions, and bring urge to know more. Sometimes I try to go close to capture the different shades of emotions and expressions on the faces of the viewers. At times I also try to capture both the view and the viewers from a unique viewpoint. In some other situation, I try to show the connection between the view and the viewer with the incorporation of emotional/psychological component that attach both view and viewers together.about the photographer
