Personal Statement -
It is often said that Color photos touch your mind, but monochrome photos touch your soul. There is a charm in monochrome photography that colors cannot provide. That’s why I like to use minimal or no color in my photography. I want to capture and show the essence of a particular location through my photography. One of the challenges in photography is how you can show a routine or mundane location in a very interesting way. I feel great pleasure to accept this challenge and to bring out creativity and perfection within me.
