So it all started when I was a child. I would look at the cameras and my thinking would be like what an amazing thing it is. It can capture anything and one could see all those memories anytime he/she wants. I still remember we had a camera in our home but back in that it was considered such a unique thing one could find in home and yeah there was one broken camera too. As I was child so the camera was not allowed. This thing was so irritating for me I wanted to carry that camera, take pictures, make moments. As I said there was a broken camera too. Only flashlight of that camera was working and to be honest at that time that light was enough for me so I used to carry that and it was also so satisfying for me.

Time was moving on and my love for photography was increasing and with age I started learning it and practicing it. Then mobile cameras started advancing and I was grown enough to be allowed to carry cameras. Nature is something which attracts people but I can say I am attracted so much to nature. Such mind soothing. So I would take picture of everyone and everything and go to people if they like my photography or not. No matter what they say; good or bad I would ask. And that helped me to improve my skills. In 2011, I got admission in a boarding school. There I saw photography club in school and I was like I’ve got everything I need. I can still remember how excited I was. By the way let me tell you I have never thought of photography as a career but I just love taking pictures . This is one which never bored me and literally I am doing it for my entire life I can say.

With age I came to know that how amazing and vast photography is as a career and all these things about photography.

Back to the story, I was taking pictures everyday and with time it was improving. One day I was called out by our principal and he asked me to be magazine photographer for school which was my life's first achievement in the photography and later I was president of school photography club. I started an instagram account on my friends suggestion and people liked it which was really great for me. I have also made some earnings from my photography in different university exhibitions.

I think photography is such a great profession/hobby to adopt. As this is my first blog so I am looking forward forward for comments, that will be appreciated and sorry if it doesn't seem to be professional enough.
