I am a dedicated hobbyist photographer with a keen focus on capturing the essence of nature, wildlife, and travel through my lens. My journey in photography began during the COVID-19 lockdown, where I started with capturing sunsets and sunrises from the comfort of my home. Since then, I have expanded my portfolio to include bird photography and street photography, with a preference for candid moments that capture genuine emotions.ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOLADESActive participant in renowned National and International Salon Photography Competitions, securing over 100 awards and 350 image acceptances.– Distinctions achieved in photography:PPSA (Photographic Society of America)EFIP (Federation of Indian Photography)CR 2 (Crown 2 of Global Photographic Union)GENIUS (G.APS) AGILE PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY, BANGLADESHAFIAP (Federation Internationale De L’Art Photographique)Other Achievements2023: Best Image selection (Theme – My Beautiful India) at the Russia-India Cultural Exchange Exhibition; another image ranked in the top 10, with 30 images exhibited in Kolkata, India, and St. Petersburg, Russia.2022: Two images selected in the top 30 at the Photography Exhibition organized by Russia-India Cultural Exchange, exhibited in Kolkata, India, and St. Petersburg, Russia.
