-Youth Gallery- Photographing Golden Moments: Vishal Kumar Singh



-Youth Gallery-
Photographing Golden Moments
Vishal Kumar Singh

Born in a small village, 'Kharasara' of Ballia District (INDIA), Vishal Kumar Singh is an Animator by profession. But his real passion is photography.
He had interest in photography since his childhood days. He decided to pursue his hobby seriously in 2015 and purchased a Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera with 18-105mm Kit Lens. The process of clicking started and his initial pictures were not satisfactory. But he continued his efforts and gradually there came an improvement in his work. 
In consequent years he came in touch of Mr. Shivji Joshi, is a renowned photographer from Jodhpur. Vishal started sharing his pictures with him for review. The interaction with Prof. Shivji polished his skills. In 2018 Vishal’s first picture was published in National Geographic’s popular section, “The Daily Dozen”. This success added wings to his passion. His couple of pictures have been recognised by National Geographic till date. Now he is among the popular emerging photographers of country.  
Vishal loves street photography in particular. He always feels that photography is one such creative medium which can capture everlasting golden moments. He doesn't go too far to take photographs; he captures his nearby surroundings through his lens. He admits that he is not a self taught photographer; he is learning photography from everywhere and from everyone.
Vishal is an example for all those who want to pursue photography as their passion. Vishal gives message to all beginners, "if we strive hard with single minded dedication, no one can stop us from achieving our goals."
