Co-Founder – Workshop Leader
My curiosity reflects on my photography as well. If I have a theory about how an ‘impossible’ image may be created, I just must try it! Be it a model jumping in front of the milky way, or ‘ghosts’ being caught on camera – I like to shoot my photographs using only one exposure if possible! I have also utilised camera traps, tried out high-speed photography, mixed long exposure with freezing quick actions in the same shot using flash, and almost any technique you can think of. If I see or think of an image that is technically challenging, I must do it and it to me, it sounds fun! An image that I cannot see how is done, I have to try to replicate it, somehow!

Traveller, seeker, and an experience junkie who sees through the eyes of photography. Photography helps me enjoy the smallest of things in life.
A multifaceted person from India, currently residing in Krakow, Poland. An image is to me an abode to time, colour and shape. Be it the simple expressions or the macro details of a carpet everything has its own beauty.
I get immense satisfaction to learn, share and explore the art of making light memoirs
