I studied in a famous school from Coimbatore that focused on studies and didn’t give as much weight to art and other talents. I wasn’t particularly studious and hence was highly discouraged by the teachers and what they taught. It made me want to avoid my studies but I  still managed to pass all my exams. During these troubling times, only my parents supported me. My parents own company and I work there for more than 6 years started clicking photos on my mobile phone. These pictures were shared with my parents and friends  in India. I persuaded my parents to get me a DSLR and continued clicking pictures which I then posted to Facebook (which was just booming back then) For someone who had been discouraged by teachers and society my whole life, this made a huge difference to my confidence. Even when I faced problems from the local ruffians and gangs abroad, it didn’t stop me from setting targets for myself in photography and achieving them too. I started following famous photographers on sonyalphin.tn and tvs racing factory Photography became an addiction and a stress buster for me. Slowly, I developed an interest for action photography which turned into a craze to freeze anything that moved. Freezing a moment was only possible in photography for me which got me visiting every park in Coimbatore to capture flying birds. It’s very challenging to get a picture of a flying bird that people appreciate. The action photography I indulged in was literally for the birds.
There must have been a turning point to sustain your passion
My  pics started to publish in wildlife site and sports racing officials site 

Never be scared to get out of your comfort zone and start something new. Everything will be difficult in the beginning and getting scared will never allow you to move further. In general, teachers and parents don’t recognize the value of the dreams and passions of kids but I strongly believe that everyone has a specialty and an inner talent. Everyone is adept in doing something that others find hard to do. We have to listen to our gut feelings and start working right away. Imagining what we could achieve at some point in the future will never work until we move right now and plunge into action.

Don’t you feel like you got lucky a lot?
I am not a believer of luck but I am a firm believer of trust. Trust your camera ,Trust the weather, Trust the light, Trust your subject And finally, have immense trust on  yourself. I am driven by my passion for photography which gives me all the kicks I need and I believe that a strong passion will never leave you sitting idle. I wish everyone could get the encouragement I got from my parents and friend because this gave me happiness and the drive to move forward. This victory, after all the hardships, tastes very good. I thank my parents for all the support they have given
