Born in India, my family moved to Australia when I was very young. Natural beauty has always fascinated me and capturing this with a bit of creativity and my trusty Canon 400D (which I hope to upgrade soon… ish) is one of my greatest passions.
This love was first ignited when I took photography as a subject in my 10th year of school.
By then digital cameras had started to take over and I got my hands on an Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom. Though this camera was not a DSLR, we have had some wonderful times together, having taken some of my favourite shots together on manual mode. The Olympus also helped me understand aperture and shutter speed in real-time.
After a few years I then got the Canon 400D. I am still working on building up a good collection of lenses and so on but am loving the experience all the same.
I am proud to share my work with all of you and hope to get some feedback through which I can improve my skills.
