Photographing nature in all its forms is my passion.  Introduced to YPS by Shri H.V.Praveen Kumar during 2001, enrolled as a member, and started my journey in photography.  I am a Government of India servant, serving in the Ministry of Finance as Superintendent of Central Tax.  I love trekking and being in nature can spend a lot of time just observing nature in any form, be it landscape, wildlife, insects, birds etc.  The sheer magnificence of its creation fascinates me a lot and so I love to capture them to the best of my ability and showcase them to all my fellow human beings to create love for nature in everyone’s heart, which I believe can help in promoting conservation.  Observing the behaviour of animals or insects or birds interests me a lot, and love to capture them so that we can relate them to ourselves and try to absorb some of the traits they exhibit.  I keep trying other genres of photography like table top, portraiture etc, and indulge in them whenever time permits. 

Being with friends having similar passion helps in learning more and more, and feel lucky to have been associated with YPS, Bengaluru. During 2016-17 became part of the Executive Committee of YPS as Director and later became Joint Secretary during 2018 to 2020.  Associated with photography stalwarts of YPS helped me in learning and honing my skills in photography and achieving the distinctions.   Hope to continue my learning and feel privileged to have once again become part of the Executive Committee of YPS as Vice President.
