Physics graduate academically, photography is my hobby turned profession. Starting with Astrophotography, my interest in photography keeps shuffling from editorial, nature-wildlife, macro, Interior/Architectural, landscape & travel photography. I have been a freelance Photojournalist for almost 15 years taking assignments from National & regional newspapers & magazines like TOI, The-Week, Outlook etc.
