in 1968. Photography is her passion. Her
favorite photography subjects are nature, man and his environment, horses,
photomontage-creation, and in general she photographs everything that interests
her. After looking at her works, her inclination appears to be more towards
black and white medium, and she seems to do full justice to this medium. Her
pictures are unique in regard of strong presentation of subjects and this
quality gives her a special identity different from others. Her photography philosophy is to live in
harmony with the environment. She has deep respect for each of her photographed
objects.</span></span></p></div><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54JKktnemch2YI41C-2H_y5oL69975y4Se5XFir1V8YOQlauvpbuLD-O3BZ1gFiUy3V2oIL50PGizIeQAK7CXdSQn7ZiwzctO90jH6IDOEydQn6APGA7tK469abcz3cbNrAgQ9YiPFkAZuHdyuX-xZrNsDPVRR3LDFmK0He3Yr3DZU_36BeGTxuSGoCCd/s2048/423737941_2271243836413409_1584242137299672362_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54JKktnemch2YI41C-2H_y5oL69975y4Se5XFir1V8YOQlauvpbuLD-O3BZ1gFiUy3V2oIL50PGizIeQAK7CXdSQn7ZiwzctO90jH6IDOEydQn6APGA7tK469abcz3cbNrAgQ9YiPFkAZuHdyuX-xZrNsDPVRR3LDFmK0He3Yr3DZU_36BeGTxuSGoCCd/w444-h333/423737941_2271243836413409_1584242137299672362_n.jpg" width="444" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkctVjghOh7867v1oCQoSMfLLxoOAZ6Ive3XqGZbk7IJ5icmhllsWTpMeHdwJBUMjIJPoOpeqRjgHr55iB1eQVbO_qiJlPyWB1Su-8gZUVAn3sl6OpiI9n3O1ODk13uyn2JOonQjljeNLC6L3mJ1OUJQgkQv4ux228RCKHa9mJTDRxGMN_zbc9urPj_zk/s2048/423568622_1687501421779995_6237677243289930308_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1538" data-original-width="2048" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkctVjghOh7867v1oCQoSMfLLxoOAZ6Ive3XqGZbk7IJ5icmhllsWTpMeHdwJBUMjIJPoOpeqRjgHr55iB1eQVbO_qiJlPyWB1Su-8gZUVAn3sl6OpiI9n3O1ODk13uyn2JOonQjljeNLC6L3mJ1OUJQgkQv4ux228RCKHa9mJTDRxGMN_zbc9urPj_zk/w444-h332/423568622_1687501421779995_6237677243289930308_n.jpg" width="444" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="LT" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">Normante has been awarded in the International

photography was back in 1974, when he received a “Nettar” as a gift from his
father. Since then, the camera became an integral part of his daily life. But
it was only in 2009 that he found the necessary free time to study photography
seriously, under the supervision of Tasos Schizas. He became acquainted with
classic and contemporary photographers and realized this medium would offer him
a getaway from reality and enable him to express his inner world. Photography
proved to be a permanent source of inspiration and life-changing experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

than 1000 islands, he developed a close relationship with the sea, and he feels
that this connection is the driving force behind his love for seascapes. George
rarely tries to capture the moment and finds that by ignoring reality he can
best convey his inner vision and underlying emotions. Subjects that convey
feelings of loneliness, isolation, and melancholy are his preferred themes,
with bare trees in the water, old piers, and interesting rocks being recurring
themes. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Purity of space and thought, vast
waterscapes, sense of echoing space, and the removal of the distracting
elements, characterize his work. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #666666;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJxNOtO2iav_oo24Vku802Yg5lfUWBBZv91eCuCAMFiUYfjL9mvE4TTZ8iVn-dPwXWeC-bb81uXef1CzcDHL3p_3cGZ9-EwJ7peb22IlFxDmj2t5APll20PAHZs2g2JMYQUrAlGZPvEj3xA5GbFDp2q4PAcCussP3FuinFfDpO2Lda-vRWY03NOyRjBYAE/s1500/Meander.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJxNOtO2iav_oo24Vku802Yg5lfUWBBZv91eCuCAMFiUYfjL9mvE4TTZ8iVn-dPwXWeC-bb81uXef1CzcDHL3p_3cGZ9-EwJ7peb22IlFxDmj2t5APll20PAHZs2g2JMYQUrAlGZPvEj3xA5GbFDp2q4PAcCussP3FuinFfDpO2Lda-vRWY03NOyRjBYAE/w400-h400/Meander.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6-LWn7-_T1-cJb3t3T1TJsFfacSxbpJWxPRaEMAwK1TojSaclmmbs45ExvkZ8Au1nH-E-rKa9br0oRg793hw_W6_3Jcg0FHpFYiY2zgv4DvXmNf3fYucKR1Uc9DgmU3P4-o73VDR54LWfAVJRVnv5xndVHmc4_r0zW26fpEO2jSxnVKzXE47TEDSYFXK/s1600/The%20Crows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6-LWn7-_T1-cJb3t3T1TJsFfacSxbpJWxPRaEMAwK1TojSaclmmbs45ExvkZ8Au1nH-E-rKa9br0oRg793hw_W6_3Jcg0FHpFYiY2zgv4DvXmNf3fYucKR1Uc9DgmU3P4-o73VDR54LWfAVJRVnv5xndVHmc4_r0zW26fpEO2jSxnVKzXE47TEDSYFXK/w400-h400/The%20Crows.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

point of art has never been to make a truthful copy of reality, but to create
art that could help the viewer to escape the surface of reality we everyday
live in and discover emotions and feelings. </span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; padding: 0cm;">He sees the use of black and
white as a step away from reality, and with the use of the long exposure technique,
introduces the sense of passing time, eliminating the details from the
background, thus highlighting his subjects.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirz2VEs_Jwvv-l0DJZ9oytHiLcR8UqUWOTsQJIQ1tIuiRfnaAK6mzCB941YOkuzPSrlUrWr5QpfrkRGbpx2jUaP1yKDq0hzJmb9vffQUXVjS_KGxTsnL1sFFb7v3hlEJlJIWEwh70DKV7_UKXfwfBwp3sUiUdVyJhzn33AaUa0q2PtsZsaLMy59-JtBp10/s1600/Rock%20the%20Boat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirz2VEs_Jwvv-l0DJZ9oytHiLcR8UqUWOTsQJIQ1tIuiRfnaAK6mzCB941YOkuzPSrlUrWr5QpfrkRGbpx2jUaP1yKDq0hzJmb9vffQUXVjS_KGxTsnL1sFFb7v3hlEJlJIWEwh70DKV7_UKXfwfBwp3sUiUdVyJhzn33AaUa0q2PtsZsaLMy59-JtBp10/w400-h266/Rock%20the%20Boat.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

both as an art movement and a philosophy of life, has influenced his work. The
influence from minimalist photographers, such as Michael Kenna can be clearly seen
in his seascapes. On the other hand, the street photography of Harry Callahan
and Giacomo Bruneli, with the extensive use of dark tones, highlighting the
melancholic mood of their work, has clearly left an imprint on his urban
imagery.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkIvR3G4o37JJAAJ4NviEhEksXBDgBmEfNgRSnSiz7odaNKCaIxcU4Uq-6aqgY-QPTtI014T8CO2_kmZPYtypSFxsJ8GNr0Tjo_ees6c5-E9k8esktr_dRWHPVuz4YGy9uY973RF7Qr7ivcJsWtvJrdmFAcvJGYWNfNFbnVR1YsHIEtc6ld77ClBaU400b/s1500/Mist%20Upon%20the%20Lake%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkIvR3G4o37JJAAJ4NviEhEksXBDgBmEfNgRSnSiz7odaNKCaIxcU4Uq-6aqgY-QPTtI014T8CO2_kmZPYtypSFxsJ8GNr0Tjo_ees6c5-E9k8esktr_dRWHPVuz4YGy9uY973RF7Qr7ivcJsWtvJrdmFAcvJGYWNfNFbnVR1YsHIEtc6ld77ClBaU400b/w400-h400/Mist%20Upon%20the%20Lake%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

says, she wanted one at the age of 18 but her father couldn't buy it then. All
these years, while clicking her art work for various publication and NGOs, she
used DSLR owned by husband. She also did self-study on rolling, clicking and
developing negative photos. Earlier, when she was spreading her art work on FB,
she came in touch with Mr Vinayak Puranik who had history of Digital
Photography. He had an idea of publishing a book on photography since 1975.
Looking at the pics of "Chhandmitra" book, Vinayak offered book
writing on photography to Archana. She was interested but was not ready. She
took course in Digital Photography, learned the art and then gave it shot on
writing. Till date she has written 3 books on Photography. Names ARTOGRAPHY,
PHOTOMANTRA & CLICKTRICK in Marathi. All books were her weekly columns in
Lokmat Thane; they later got published as books by Diamond books, Pune. With
APAC they train artists, assist them, give them platform, and conduct International level Photography and art contests. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUsVnr8BvQxRatRfuGfmB7-u4RQFqK3bWMuP9vLuAM9ZU7u-OEDN0sKeyjRrqTL5G6VJ8eVRwWUzzOy__5ltwdgQy5baDj8K_n7FAJWrP5daTRlF652wAOTl_jZmXiH5rJGE7lPMuUoWtC1bol7IJOBmC_jl2iw8zL-QW8YvlWDsBRELZNbWPtNcq5w/s3414/AVJ%20BLG%20Pics%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="3414" height="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUsVnr8BvQxRatRfuGfmB7-u4RQFqK3bWMuP9vLuAM9ZU7u-OEDN0sKeyjRrqTL5G6VJ8eVRwWUzzOy__5ltwdgQy5baDj8K_n7FAJWrP5daTRlF652wAOTl_jZmXiH5rJGE7lPMuUoWtC1bol7IJOBmC_jl2iw8zL-QW8YvlWDsBRELZNbWPtNcq5w/w553-h389/AVJ%20BLG%20Pics%20(7).JPG" width="553" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWkwPGcF7cBPNcGhxhYFGa0mQ5Mg5HSu_M9HPqqOzq9hvQBBxUrqzXhbJuWUkEbxpsGX2q3iWN6ttwGiNPuNAPy_fbn_T6Fo_wTaSYoSJkFolxoPcKvwo304PbcmVw1qK0wdcezJeoh_5udgB5MueoJvIQsYBj5SJrF0aqcka54lCCQdfWYCMQj7UDw/s5400/AVJ%20BLG%20Pics%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4126" data-original-width="5400" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWkwPGcF7cBPNcGhxhYFGa0mQ5Mg5HSu_M9HPqqOzq9hvQBBxUrqzXhbJuWUkEbxpsGX2q3iWN6ttwGiNPuNAPy_fbn_T6Fo_wTaSYoSJkFolxoPcKvwo304PbcmVw1qK0wdcezJeoh_5udgB5MueoJvIQsYBj5SJrF0aqcka54lCCQdfWYCMQj7UDw/w553-h424/AVJ%20BLG%20Pics%20(2).jpg" width="553" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia;">Message to Readers: "Don't think anything as small.

Naik Gaonkar is an outstanding photographer from Panaji, Goa (India). He has expertise in visualising the surroundings around him in his own artistic way. He portrays the ordinary subjects in such an exclusive way that a viewer’s eyes stop at his images spontaneously. The main characteristic of his works is his unique vision which is evident at first sight<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">. The words of O. G. Rejlander seem true after going through the creative pictures of Chandan, “It is the mind of the artist, and not the nature of his materials, which makes his production a work of art." This is worth mentioning that Chandan has clicked his pictures with Asus Zenfone 3 and Poco X3 mobile phone cameras, and has edited them on Snapseed app. He is a source of inspiration for those who lack expensive equipment and have profound desire to do a lot in the field of creativity.</span></span></h4><h1 style="background: white;

Umesh Gogna was inclined towards arts since his childhood. After completing his post-graduation, he
started helping his father in his family business while also working on his Ph.
D thesis on ancient Indian jewellery. He needed good quality photographs of jewellery
for his thesis. In order to get good images for his thesis, he decided to buy a
camera and try photographing the jewellery himself. He bought a second-hand
Pentax camera kit, thus started his journey as a photographer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicsDNQRYZdV01JLuxIMe2v9Mf10mQZ8A4e3FE7WUTbJEo0d9LU87sGiG8vVVh_zPmK0wPLGOB5RUU4VuGAR49-wPgN6Hu6rBw61hKT8MZ7RvufcYSxTCBz22InLIfmGuhR2VfpvyJCEqXGKNmM2ERFBrCof77wSD8DgNu4imCKanwSOtqvsysU51DdeQ=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1920" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicsDNQRYZdV01JLuxIMe2v9Mf10mQZ8A4e3FE7WUTbJEo0d9LU87sGiG8vVVh_zPmK0wPLGOB5RUU4VuGAR49-wPgN6Hu6rBw61hKT8MZ7RvufcYSxTCBz22InLIfmGuhR2VfpvyJCEqXGKNmM2ERFBrCof77wSD8DgNu4imCKanwSOtqvsysU51DdeQ=w513-h320" width="513" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3zFT-HwiBlY3Mc1q2Q-49XlujMbPkM1uZynzcCreC4HzOhfZlccOr0NLXvbhhYpipUE_dYUpWDs9plfS9bUFH0SzQoJykCuYBKP4MBUns4CMMbRL5hBo3mE89Kgr0prNUATpJtu8pQhCX_lfVeg5drMDOh0Hkn-he-N-J15HWjrxwgnmHbFkw-IojEw=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3zFT-HwiBlY3Mc1q2Q-49XlujMbPkM1uZynzcCreC4HzOhfZlccOr0NLXvbhhYpipUE_dYUpWDs9plfS9bUFH0SzQoJykCuYBKP4MBUns4CMMbRL5hBo3mE89Kgr0prNUATpJtu8pQhCX_lfVeg5drMDOh0Hkn-he-N-J15HWjrxwgnmHbFkw-IojEw=w514-h342" width="514" /></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;">After some disappointments, and a
lot of hard work, he was able to get good images for his thesis. After a phase
of time, he discovered that he had fallen in love with photography and he
started spending more and more time with this form of art. He upgraded his
camera kit, brought studio lights and even set up a small studio in his house.
Soon people started asking him to photograph their jewellery-products and he
was happy to oblige them.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;">As he loved
travelling, he started travelling to new destinations with his camera. During these
trips he got fine images of different places.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjfkTquYFkbMQqWXeTGLeWlaS_oobE0srn_WBdgMdYeabKdnPHk1PllZfWsHyZEgfVPrXKcQ4eDhCxHJRRN_dDzzokGNpg_1MF8WWIYgHgwZwl6l1BmTeBergRojMhyiLbPfJXsAURKnDkT3YSYFp-X4i87KLSb0ZVa1ucoqVyDBUXDdpv2f_VzGtPlA=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1281" data-original-width="1920" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjfkTquYFkbMQqWXeTGLeWlaS_oobE0srn_WBdgMdYeabKdnPHk1PllZfWsHyZEgfVPrXKcQ4eDhCxHJRRN_dDzzokGNpg_1MF8WWIYgHgwZwl6l1BmTeBergRojMhyiLbPfJXsAURKnDkT3YSYFp-X4i87KLSb0ZVa1ucoqVyDBUXDdpv2f_VzGtPlA=w523-h350" width="523" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwX9nuhxMLHdZC_RKdgcrt3CF6b5aK0hSkPd8p91HMzcW-X5Up4m528LpVOSLLBjM1I4VlGkZJe5rjx6htCfl44jjux9M6D2uIT9HELbYwxiYc3OnsYlNGxX2y548RA115Jii6Z_yBuXjcRsHQGJOnPwbC4Ml6dUcNxpz2VtFNh46jvGHRcEwRgkb6CQ=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1281" data-original-width="1920" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwX9nuhxMLHdZC_RKdgcrt3CF6b5aK0hSkPd8p91HMzcW-X5Up4m528LpVOSLLBjM1I4VlGkZJe5rjx6htCfl44jjux9M6D2uIT9HELbYwxiYc3OnsYlNGxX2y548RA115Jii6Z_yBuXjcRsHQGJOnPwbC4Ml6dUcNxpz2VtFNh46jvGHRcEwRgkb6CQ=w524-h350" width="524" /></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;">When he realized that he was
devoting more time to his photography than to his family business, he decided
to turn professional and devote all his time to photography. It was a difficult
decision as he was essentially leaving a secure business for the uncharted
waters of professional photography. But now, after so many years, he is glad
that he made that choice. Photography has always been the main passion of his
life and he feels especially lucky and blessed to be able to devote all his
time to it.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5gA6Xlu6f-DzZ6QvLF_4wZUDe02Hl-don3tleL4XsooUHphIGSVd7Bu33URgXNRljTGlhtOBhwKQjQt4jNteBSquyqRMHTPyhGnaBpj6eJa6jcIdxxuM0etx6lqnZrSHWzFnqd1LRg4QQTEDHWjk6ijysAYFl5QaKy56zE14gEzR4qPuKkULxzoKUBA=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1920" height="327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5gA6Xlu6f-DzZ6QvLF_4wZUDe02Hl-don3tleL4XsooUHphIGSVd7Bu33URgXNRljTGlhtOBhwKQjQt4jNteBSquyqRMHTPyhGnaBpj6eJa6jcIdxxuM0etx6lqnZrSHWzFnqd1LRg4QQTEDHWjk6ijysAYFl5QaKy56zE14gEzR4qPuKkULxzoKUBA=w523-h327" width="523" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia;">Most of his professional work is

Born and brought up in Ludhiana, he was among the most talented photographers of his country. An artist by instinct he picked up his camera in 1975. Deeply fascinated by the world of photography he never looked back and made a mark in the field of portraiture, still life, product, industrial, fashion, food, interiors and wedding photography. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away …that’s what Rakesh Syal ji thought. His works are remarkable for their technical and formal mastery. Still life by Rakesh Syal is class apart. His compositions carry a signature style of his own and are from the genesis of an idea. A challenge to creativity and technical skills, Rakesh Syal’s portraits are magical. With enigmatic backdrops he created the best of formal and informal portraits inside and outside his studio. Nothing succeeds like success and for this artist success is a journey, not a destination. With over 35 years of experience to combine with his exceptional skills Rakesh ji was very passionate about his work. His immense talent made whatever he did highly recognizable and his charismatic power to turn the ordinary into extraordinary!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jN1WPgnOMpc/YadLEitcLoI/AAAAAAAAIZM/xJ6rk7DpR20MIquVlCTSA-CBjsSe7LIeQCLcBGAsYHQ/s759/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="759" height="438" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jN1WPgnOMpc/YadLEitcLoI/AAAAAAAAIZM/xJ6rk7DpR20MIquVlCTSA-CBjsSe7LIeQCLcBGAsYHQ/w526-h438/4.jpg" width="526" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t1obboe6oCg/YadLMsJVKOI/AAAAAAAAIZQ/_djEqZ6nnzMAWzk7mSv34-sIsMGVtaz1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1598/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1598" height="399" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t1obboe6oCg/YadLMsJVKOI/AAAAAAAAIZQ/_djEqZ6nnzMAWzk7mSv34-sIsMGVtaz1ACLcBGAsYHQ/w531-h399/5.jpg" width="531" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2cWgV7YDLbg/YadL2fW07pI/AAAAAAAAIZc/hZ8JBVmxK98ILz71djbaFJvaCanuf_VXACLcBGAsYHQ/s1575/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1088" data-original-width="1575" height="366" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2cWgV7YDLbg/YadL2fW07pI/AAAAAAAAIZc/hZ8JBVmxK98ILz71djbaFJvaCanuf_VXACLcBGAsYHQ/w530-h366/2.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><br /><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444;">He had to his credit some 3500 acceptances & more than 900 prestigious awards in National & International photographic competitions.

old when he shifted to Bareilly with his parents. Around 40 years of his stay
at Bareilly have passed. He has been doing photography for more than 20 years.
He enjoys photographing the historical places of his region and he has done a
lot of work in this field. The ancient buildings of his city have attracted him
since his student life. Few old buildings located in the city are very
important in terms of their beautiful architecture. This time he is with
us with a few beautiful pictures of ancient churches of Bareilly. He admits, “the
Churches located in my city always fascinated me. I could not photograph them
in my student life as I did not possess a camera. But later the things changed.
I, after completing my studies and then after making my career in medical line wished
to spend some of my time for photography. I started clicking the beauty of my
city. My childhood fascination for churches inspired me to photograph them
thoroughly.” He further adds, “not only the churches but religious places of
every religion attract me deeply. Visiting these places always gives a feeling
of being close to the positivity and to a divine power as well.”</span></span></div></span></div></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KmnNrLVXVVI/YVRESE9SPzI/AAAAAAAAIYI/2YChgps0ruEzOO6G2R3iXWmLzciRbGxAACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/St%2BAlphonsus%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="341" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KmnNrLVXVVI/YVRESE9SPzI/AAAAAAAAIYI/2YChgps0ruEzOO6G2R3iXWmLzciRbGxAACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h341/St%2BAlphonsus%2B4.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YAx40KyplCg/YVRFvIBSYSI/AAAAAAAAIYQ/qUzWzF6I8ZMamBe-GLiVPtafrCcPUvD1wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/St%2BAlphonsus%2B5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="341" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YAx40KyplCg/YVRFvIBSYSI/AAAAAAAAIYQ/qUzWzF6I8ZMamBe-GLiVPtafrCcPUvD1wCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h341/St%2BAlphonsus%2B5.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5fY3khjaRe0/YVRGTDWO9aI/AAAAAAAAIYY/n3Jj0nyiamQNHKsRSlBYpY39N_3Khhq6wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/St%2BStephen%2527s%2BChurch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="2048" height="341" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5fY3khjaRe0/YVRGTDWO9aI/AAAAAAAAIYY/n3Jj0nyiamQNHKsRSlBYpY39N_3Khhq6wCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h341/St%2BStephen%2527s%2BChurch.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HtQSK4W6bTI/YVRGl159skI/AAAAAAAAIYg/jXcevZWBXFYIwbgtY5FPiaU56m4Z2DcIACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/St.%2BMichael%2Band%2BAll%2BAngels%2BChurch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1324" data-original-width="2048" height="333" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HtQSK4W6bTI/YVRGl159skI/AAAAAAAAIYg/jXcevZWBXFYIwbgtY5FPiaU56m4Z2DcIACLcBGAsYHQ/w515-h333/St.%2BMichael%2Band%2BAll%2BAngels%2BChurch.jpg" width="515" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span></div></span></h3><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #444444;">According to Dr. Kamran

he got inclined towards photography seriously and decided to join a local
photography club to get a knack for photography.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RLG7Z7Fwlu0/YQ5N4WQqEpI/AAAAAAAAIWg/7H0b7odqwIAuShjo-Rui7A7auPmhvAHcACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/_DSC0423-2-03-2-4.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="368" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RLG7Z7Fwlu0/YQ5N4WQqEpI/AAAAAAAAIWg/7H0b7odqwIAuShjo-Rui7A7auPmhvAHcACLcBGAsYHQ/w550-h368/_DSC0423-2-03-2-4.JPG" width="550" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YkEQyiJSUys/YQ5Nqkd448I/AAAAAAAAIWQ/sck78KAAKPglI7CbGuT_IPZ9cmLLxvtqwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_5486-3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="368" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YkEQyiJSUys/YQ5Nqkd448I/AAAAAAAAIWQ/sck78KAAKPglI7CbGuT_IPZ9cmLLxvtqwCLcBGAsYHQ/w551-h368/DSC_5486-3.JPG" width="551" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AG8CoxS6xc0/YQ5NvqLr0AI/AAAAAAAAIWY/OmzqRQBbpLIJwHNG2GeOHTuLXqa9UKBmwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_5901-3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="369" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AG8CoxS6xc0/YQ5NvqLr0AI/AAAAAAAAIWY/OmzqRQBbpLIJwHNG2GeOHTuLXqa9UKBmwCLcBGAsYHQ/w549-h369/DSC_5901-3.JPG" width="549" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><span style="color: #666666;">He started going on weekly
photo walks with his club members. One of his photo walks was at Raja Ji Tiger
Reserve with his fellow photographers. It was an amazing experience and after
the walk he realised how vivid the wildlife is and It's just not visually
epic but also teaches a lot of lessons to nature lovers. Since then, he started
his journey of capturing the wildlife. Ashok Sikri is a nature lover and is on a path
to capture it. His works have been published in multiple reputed magazines like
Chillz and have also been featured by Nat Geo, BBC and Nikon.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0l82Yu0TlGI/YQ5Nh3xjRGI/AAAAAAAAIWE/m67QH6nSd1Q0SFxUfpsmeyE0L04NvP7oACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_4991.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="367" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0l82Yu0TlGI/YQ5Nh3xjRGI/AAAAAAAAIWE/m67QH6nSd1Q0SFxUfpsmeyE0L04NvP7oACLcBGAsYHQ/w548-h367/DSC_4991.JPG" width="548" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNcWYQgow50/YQ5Nj1UEckI/AAAAAAAAIWI/8MJ68R6uoU85d4OrwPIr7OGhxc9tYYjzgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_2045.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="367" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNcWYQgow50/YQ5Nj1UEckI/AAAAAAAAIWI/8MJ68R6uoU85d4OrwPIr7OGhxc9tYYjzgCLcBGAsYHQ/w548-h367/DSC_2045.JPG" width="548" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KnVW-PJ51So/YQ5Nj2p3QCI/AAAAAAAAIWM/j2AvecwJcvIEJMvByCwv2Tic8hUrdBmFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_0201-2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="367" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KnVW-PJ51So/YQ5Nj2p3QCI/AAAAAAAAIWM/j2AvecwJcvIEJMvByCwv2Tic8hUrdBmFQCLcBGAsYHQ/w548-h367/DSC_0201-2.JPG" width="548" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><span style="color: #666666;">Ashok is a hard working photographer who believes in perfection.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;">Dr. Kapil
Agrawal is an ophthalmic surgeon by choice and a traveler and photographer by
passion. He did his MBBS and MS in ophthalmology from KGMC Lucknow and has been
practicing in Bareilly for the last 27 years.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">His
photography journey is like an adventure. He fell in love with this passion
when he was 11 years old. In 1978, his aunt, who lived in the USA, gifted him a
Yashica 35 camera along with a few colour rolls. It was a fully manual camera
and at that time, he didn’t know the ABCD of photography. He had no idea about
the technique, exposures, compositions and ISO. The first book he read on
photography was ‘How to Take Good Pictures’ from Kodak. It provided him with
the knowledge about the various camera settings, compositions and use of
natural light for enhancements. He started to apply that knowledge to his
shoots. With his first camera, he could not get very experimental, as
processing colour films in those times was very difficult and highly expensive.
He used to send his rolls to the USA for processing. He would get to see his
photographs only after 3-4 months of clicking them and in the meanwhile, he would
lose track of the various camera settings that he used while taking those
photographs.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQw02D9B6T4/YNngSTutMFI/AAAAAAAAITk/Lr6bAGKHiVcYqR_x_vYyROXOFaT2ZrP8QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1984/Ladakh_1_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1290" data-original-width="1984" height="361" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQw02D9B6T4/YNngSTutMFI/AAAAAAAAITk/Lr6bAGKHiVcYqR_x_vYyROXOFaT2ZrP8QCLcBGAsYHQ/w555-h361/Ladakh_1_a.jpg" width="555" /></a></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QXzUbSl7xCk/YNnbtQv9n3I/AAAAAAAAITc/h8AtEU3H_-Er-qLCb-MSZCzu1WAi0Ze7gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/confluence_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1410" data-original-width="2000" height="393" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QXzUbSl7xCk/YNnbtQv9n3I/AAAAAAAAITc/h8AtEU3H_-Er-qLCb-MSZCzu1WAi0Ze7gCLcBGAsYHQ/w557-h393/confluence_a.jpg" width="557" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qnj-iTqyANk/YNng93X7LlI/AAAAAAAAITs/ovEj7KuMJxIuC4PFya-G27zHjPDvvfGzACLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/Hunder_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="2000" height="370" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qnj-iTqyANk/YNng93X7LlI/AAAAAAAAITs/ovEj7KuMJxIuC4PFya-G27zHjPDvvfGzACLcBGAsYHQ/w556-h370/Hunder_a.jpg" width="556" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;">After a few

and exploring new places is Dr. Kapil’s other passion and photography
complements it perfectly. He loves travel and landscape photography. Himalayas
fascinate him to no end and provide him the opportunity to enjoy their serenity
and photograph them in a hundred ways. Ladakh is his favorite, because of its
extraordinary landscapes. He has travelled to more than 30 countries worldwide
and explored their eternal beauty, history and culture. Italy, particularly,
charmed him enormously due to its rich heritage buildings. It gave him an
immense pleasure to shoot its historic sites.<br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ikB0tJ9CtA/YNniGkFYvII/AAAAAAAAIUI/BuEbMykf1rE9-ObMUIu_0bAyJ7S9nkT_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/evercolored_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1333" height="827" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ikB0tJ9CtA/YNniGkFYvII/AAAAAAAAIUI/BuEbMykf1rE9-ObMUIu_0bAyJ7S9nkT_QCLcBGAsYHQ/w550-h827/evercolored_a.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">Dr. Kapil
states, “I am an amateur photographer and due to my professional
responsibilities, I have never been able to take any class on photography or
attend any workshops. I have always tried to document things in my own way and
educate myself through books and practical knowledge. In today’s modern times,
I try to keep myself updated through internet lectures. Though I’m aware that
this is not enough. Nevertheless, I also understand that beautiful pictures
turn up from one’s true passion and steadfast commitment to bring something
special and unique through a shot.”</div></span><p></p>

Photographs are from nature. Even when she goes to school, she carries her DSLR

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Based in Chamba, Himachal, Amit Vakil is a
doctor by profession and a photographer by passion. He simultaneously tried his
hands on his father's film camera along with a point and shoot camera during
2008- 2010. Gradually, this hobby turned into passion and it entered his blood
as a deathless frenzy in 2010 when he bought his first DSLR. Since then, he has
been weaving incredible stories through his camera & lenses. Initially, he
started capturing pictures in almost every genre of photography; landscape,
abstract, travel, still life, food photography, portrait and street. But
gradually, he found himself extremely intrigued by travel, landscape and
storytelling pictures (pictorial). He started focusing on these genres of
photography seriously and his pictures began making place in art lovers’ heart.
Today his is well known among photographers for his stunning images.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JaGd2QpFlQg/X4vwxSWr7zI/AAAAAAAAIH4/pJi7ub_PoKk9fAQrLDOF0jmwpdP_HHVhwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1382/5%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="922" data-original-width="1382" height="356" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JaGd2QpFlQg/X4vwxSWr7zI/AAAAAAAAIH4/pJi7ub_PoKk9fAQrLDOF0jmwpdP_HHVhwCLcBGAsYHQ/w535-h356/5%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="535" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qo5zofF-j44/X4vw9t67DGI/AAAAAAAAIH8/QlDLG884X-Y9VO4KgVIrHkdYUjXmyHKwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1382/11%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="922" data-original-width="1382" height="358" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qo5zofF-j44/X4vw9t67DGI/AAAAAAAAIH8/QlDLG884X-Y9VO4KgVIrHkdYUjXmyHKwACLcBGAsYHQ/w538-h358/11%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="538" /></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify;">His Picture of Dew Drops bagged </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">1st prize</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify;"> under the theme “Macro, Micro Flora & Fauna" in the Big shot Photography Contest Organized by Bing, </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">April 2014.</b><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify;">A picture conferred with 1st prize in

Mr. Thakre was also in
Govt. service in Bhopal, M.P., Being in Govt. service Sudhir Saxena had to go
to Bhopal quite frequently. He used to take some new prints to show to the legendary
artist. Mr. Thakre would briefly comment on those and would give some of his
prints (B/W only) to him to see and study. Thakre Sahab was an encyclopedia so
far as B/W photography was concerned. His prints, mostly portraits and
pictorial prints of rural areas were books in themselves and Sudhir Saxena was
always very nervous to see them. After some meetings, Thakre Sahab became
friendly with him and explained in detail the finer points of printing and
pictorialism. Sudhir Saxena started doing B/W printing at his home and used to
show the results to Thakre Sahab. He gradually learnt what pictorialism is all
about and how B/W printing is done. Sudhir Saxena gives the credit of his knowledge
of photography to Thakre Sahab to a big extent. In consequent years he started
doing photography in colour medium as well</span>. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVXywsbxPIU/X2Ww7FH6mXI/AAAAAAAAIEw/kIK-KIQmiucx1b8gN5mlpW1kccOH-pfUACLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/CREATION.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1287" height="743" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVXywsbxPIU/X2Ww7FH6mXI/AAAAAAAAIEw/kIK-KIQmiucx1b8gN5mlpW1kccOH-pfUACLcBGAsYHQ/w497-h743/CREATION.jpg" width="497" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qzn18AIAP3g/X2WxHdpYruI/AAAAAAAAIE0/gBBJpY_rnpMQC5s86ZMDZJw-0KyF09g4ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/GLAMOUR%2BOUT%2BOF%2BCAGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1386" height="691" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qzn18AIAP3g/X2WxHdpYruI/AAAAAAAAIE0/gBBJpY_rnpMQC5s86ZMDZJw-0KyF09g4ACLcBGAsYHQ/w498-h691/GLAMOUR%2BOUT%2BOF%2BCAGE.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Very soon he started participating in National and later International Photo

While doing his stay in Shimla he purchased a Camera and started
clicking the subjects of his choice. He used to take help of photography books
and the owner of a photo studio to polish his skills. As he was a hard-working
man, he gradually trained himself as a good photographer.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-INEldKie-40/X1S1x1eKDpI/AAAAAAAAIBc/CcRg5ijuQ9Y8foIS2W9Oz2TaWk5t2QgCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1800/SPAUL_Archives_13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1143" data-original-width="1800" height="318" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-INEldKie-40/X1S1x1eKDpI/AAAAAAAAIBc/CcRg5ijuQ9Y8foIS2W9Oz2TaWk5t2QgCwCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h318/SPAUL_Archives_13.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PZySL4hWbBI/X1S2NgpZmpI/AAAAAAAAIBo/MrzsXVjnc1YFrmQ3PjZe44v9fA1ar9xxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/SPAUL_Archives_3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="2048" height="331" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PZySL4hWbBI/X1S2NgpZmpI/AAAAAAAAIBo/MrzsXVjnc1YFrmQ3PjZe44v9fA1ar9xxQCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h331/SPAUL_Archives_3.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Later in 1962 Mr. Paul joined the reputed news paper of country, </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Indian Express</b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> at Delhi. Very soon
his pictures started getting popularity and subsequently he became CHIEF OF THE
PHOTO DEPARTMENT in this publication. The key characteristic of his photographs
was the story telling value which set him apart from others. His works were
narratives in themselves. The reason behind this was that he used to put his
heart and soul in his images. While doing work with The Indian Express he
established himself as a photographer par excellence. He remained with this
publication till 1988.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RNbF9FuG0YY/X1S3tKlMilI/AAAAAAAAICI/MH_6CgXgLQ4tbaHs7As7DCXw3wh_NJmigCLcBGAsYHQ/s655/S-Paul-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="655" height="380" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RNbF9FuG0YY/X1S3tKlMilI/AAAAAAAAICI/MH_6CgXgLQ4tbaHs7As7DCXw3wh_NJmigCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h380/S-Paul-5.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q90RrpXyxM/X1S4CqbrU4I/AAAAAAAAICQ/-JjFoOw8P0Q2zRCSOAW_1S-tNiWRwAvqwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/SPAUL_Archives_9.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1492" data-original-width="2048" height="364" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q90RrpXyxM/X1S4CqbrU4I/AAAAAAAAICQ/-JjFoOw8P0Q2zRCSOAW_1S-tNiWRwAvqwCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h364/SPAUL_Archives_9.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #444444;">Mr. Paul always thought himself a learner. He firmly believed in regular
practice. He used to say, “A little gap in practice can take us far away from
our path.” He always kept his camera with him. Whenever he found an object
worth clicking, he never missed the opportunity. He was very much quick in
clicking. As soon as he saw the subject, he clicked immediately. This quality
is seen in very few people. His deep patience and attachment with his work made
him a legend. He is a role model for photography lovers. He left for his
heavenly abode in 2017. He is not among us today, but his life history has set
an example for all photography enthusiasts. His masterpieces will always be a source
of inspiration for all those who love photography.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-802TNq7gbXw/X1S5-y_b5OI/AAAAAAAAICc/43xyZVjGMf0V_6uStm-fvoCAHIfCqkhqACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/SPAUL_Archives_5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1545" height="625" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-802TNq7gbXw/X1S5-y_b5OI/AAAAAAAAICc/43xyZVjGMf0V_6uStm-fvoCAHIfCqkhqACLcBGAsYHQ/w470-h625/SPAUL_Archives_5.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span lang="" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">The ace photographer Padmashree Raghu Rai is his younger brother.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444;">Dr. Barun Sinha (Patna) is a
renowned photographer of India. For him the journey of photography started way
back in 1969 when by sheer accident he landed up with 5 friends in a Wild life
Sanctuary. As the night fell, and they did not have any place to stay
overnight, they all decided to spend the night on a watch tower. For Dr. Sinha
it was a love at the first sight with a girl, called Nature. Two years later
with several tours to the nearby forests in this period, a turning point came
when a Japanese tourist visited Patna and sold his Minolta SLR with 58 mm, 200
mm f 5.6 and a spare body for next to nothing to him. Now he had a reason to
visit the jungles around his place, Patna.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">The rigorous demands of his
medico surgical career dictated that he nearly left serious photography between
1979 and 1988 while in UK for higher studies. Since 1989, he has been seriously
engaged in photography as a hobby as well as in the organisational aspect of
it. He has been associated both with IIPC as well as FIP for a long time.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Though he loves all genres of
photography, wildlife photography is his area of expertise. His wildlife
pictures are outstanding in their compositions and content material. His
astonishing pictures are the result of his long-time experience, perseverance
and single minded dedication. A number of his photographs have been recognised
in the photography contests at national and international levels. In spite of
so many achievements in his favourite field, he always works like a learner. Learning
is a never ending process for him. He states, “I am still to capture that one
image which is equal to a thousand words.”</span></div>

country, i.e., India and thus he has many expectations from Indian Photography.
He admits, “Many of my goals are still a dream, such as to see India at the
very top of the Global Photography. I want to see Indian photographers’ work
being recognised on the basis of contents material. My dream is to see Indian
photographers feeling pride in achieving Indian distinctions rather than
falling head over heels for foreign distinctions.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
