Dear Friends,

Ankur Thatai is a young, talented and energetic photo artist from Ferozepur, Punjab (India). He has been associated with photography art for last few years and has developed his eye very creatively in a short period.
Ankur fell in love with photography when he was a student of 12th standard. During his student life he had the opportunity to read & know about legendary photographers, like, Ansel Adams, T.F Getty, Yusuf Karsh, Lala Deen Dayal and Homai Vyarwala. Their work fascinated Ankur very intensively and motivated him to leap to the field of art photography. After graduation he enrolled himself in a Photography course at Triveni Kala Sangam, Delhi. There he came in touch of Mr. O. P. Sharma, the famous photo artist of the world. The classes of Mr. Sharma left a deep impact on his heart and soul. Here after he developed his own style of working.
Ankur loves to shoot people, places, events and Indian culture. He loves shooting portraits equally.
Ankur is an active member of IIPC and FIP. Recently, he has got “Bronze Grade” certificate from India International Photographic Council for his acceptances in the exhibitions of photography - art at national level.
Ankur is a free-lancer. He is coupled with many commercial projects, magazines, advertising agencies and NGO’s.

    Excellent photographs. Ankur, you are one of the bests. I have been closely watching this blog in particular and to be very frank, very few have the class and sense of creativity that you have.
    I am sure you must be having hundreds of photographs of such quality. Kindly keep posting in this blog. I want to see some picutres depicting colours and diversity of Indian culture.
    Keep up your good work.
    Best wishes,
    anup, Bareilly

    This is heartening to see the work of young devoted artists like Ankur, Indranil, Chandan and many more from different parts of India in this blog.
    All credits go to the man behind this blog, Dr. Pankaj Sharma. Himself an avid shutterbug, Dr. Sharma's sincerity and untiring hard work has steered this blog to become the face of Indian photography. He has provided an international podium to the amateur as well as mature photo artists to display their talent. The blog has been a powerhouse of teaching and learning the nuances of photography through dozens of writings and discussions by the doyens of Indian Photography. That is why the blog has received the accolade of best photographic blog of India.
    The blog is going to celebrate its maiden anniversary soon and I wish many more in future.

    I have my heartfelt best wishes for a bright future of the blog and the photo artists.

    Anup (Bareilly, India)

    Ankur is really a talented and gifted photo artist. Just technical wizardy is no more sufficient in the current scenario. You need a photographic 'eye' and Ankur definitely has it. The future is extremely bright for this young lad. Thanks are also due to Dr. Pankaj Sharma for picking such gems and letting the world see them.
