About Ganesh Bagal (tour leader)
Expressing in Visual Medium always has been my first love. I was a good painter in childhood. Travel was another passion and I was always amazed by the play of light created by mother nature. My love for photography helped me in capturing those magical moments. The initial photographs taken on my first digital camera gave the confidence to this self-taught photographer to start commercial work using Pro-DSLR and a studio setup. Since beginning my works are published in International publications like National Geographic, sanctuary Asia and many reputed Indian publications in print and digital forms. Currently, I am an official reviewer for major products in photographic and lighting equipment made by leading International manufacturers. Since last 5 years [ as a professional and full-time photographer ] I have focused chiefly on Wedding - Pre-wedding shoots and travel shoot around India. nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy on the faces of newlyweds and their family while seeing the wedding photographs for the first time. My journey from the Sony DSC-H50 [ my first digital camera in 2008] to the cutting-edge Alpha III ecosystem is a wonderful story in itself!
