Am elated

I have been doing photography since 2014, after completing graduation. I did BTech in architecture and planning from MANIT, Bhopal, in 2013. I had interest in photography since then. I used to take tuitions when I was in third and fourth year and bought a Fujifilm SX 300 camera from tuition fee. No one in my family is from this field.  My parents accepted my choice when they saw my passion for photography. I mostly do wedding photography. I have also done photography for interior, products, Unicef, and forest department.  Now, I own camera with equipment worth Rs 6 lakh. I am elated and satisfied with my work.

Multi-crore equipment

I hold Bachelor’s degree in economics. I hold MBA and PG diploma in retail management. I learnt photography from my father who runs a studio. I studied to run my family business smoothly because education gives you new insights. Technology has made photography easy for everyone. It has a wide scope and its business has changed. Now, we do wedding shoots of Rs 5 lak to Rs 8 lakh. For this, we have to keep equipment worth crores of rupees.
