-Great Masters-
Photography for her is a Spiritual Journey
Sapna Reddy
Sapna Reddy is a photo artist to whom the pursuit
of photography has been a spiritual journey filled with happiness every step of
the way.
Each image acquired, that is every step of the
journey feels more pleasurable than the last, a sentiment that draws Sapna
passionately deeper into the exhilaration of the art. She lives in California
and loves immersing herself in the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Photography has taught her to see and appreciate the wonders and miracles of Mother
Nature. Being able to capture some of this beauty and share it with others
exponentially enhances that joy.
She is currently pursuing dual careers in medicine
and photography. As a radiologist she analyzes images in an attempt to achieve
cure. As a photographer she creates images that celebrate health,
happiness and the goodness of life. In this personal cosmos of yin and yang lies her centre
of Zen.
The transition to a professional photographer was mainly triggered by her
passion for teaching. She loves to share her creativity and passion and has
come to realize that helping others creates beautiful imagery is as satisfying
as doing it yourself. The workshops she teaches in the National Parks in
America are geared to small groups with emphasis on the creative aspects of
photography. All profits from the workshops are dedicated to charity.
In addition to being used in multiple medical centres to create an ambience of
healing, she feels herself honored to share the news that her photographs are
utilized as screen savers for video conferencing and other needs by major
corporations such as Google, Hitachi, Gap and Yahoo. Being published in various
magazines internationally she enjoys writing and sharing her thoughts and
philosophy regarding photography. She is on the author's panel for Landscape
photography magazine and has been published in Popular Photography and Lonely
Planet amongst others.
She aspires to convey beauty in the
barren, mood in the mundane and evoke emotional response by immersing the art
lovers in the images.
