Gone were the days, when I was growing up, I used to
think about that energy which was constantly hammering me inside. I was
puzzled or you can say heavily confused that what exactly my soul was
demanding from me. One fresh morning when I woke up I felt the nature
like pristine beauty and felt like having then all in my soul. That was
the very day I got the confusion cleared and decided to be with painting
and photography. So many years have been passed, now when I am fully
grown-up person I recall those days when I was in my last years of
school (1994), I got the blessings of Mr. NAVEEN SONI and Mr. VIPIN SONI,
famous for their works in the field of story painting related with
Swaminarayan cult. I served under them almost four years and got the
basics of art and the concept of painting. But, due to monotony of work
I again started feeling like engaged for nothing and I should go for
that something different which was in my soul. I then contacted Mr.
HASMUKH MACHHAR famous for his photography. Here I learnt the essence of
photography and its thought, and the combination of light and shadow
which is the soul of any photo. I also learnt how to present the
thoughts in photography.
I spent my one and half year with him and nurtured myself up to
perfection. But as it said perfection is an ultimate situation I, then,
tried to be impeccable. And this was only due to the famous artist Mr.
DINESH SONI under whom I still work. Meanwhile I also spent some time
with Mr. HIRALAL BALWA who is famous for his graphic works.
Then I worked independently for some years. Then came the year 2000 when
I met Mr. DHIRAJ CHAVDA the famous glamour photographer from film
industry. He appreciated my work and wished me as his assistant in
Bangalore. I availed this chance and worked with him. Here I got the
professional touch to my photography. I also learnt the importance of
technology in this field.
Since then to now I, with my diverse
experience, try to do something different in the field of photography.
And the latest in this queue is my photographic work on famous book
MEGHDOOT written by Kalidas and the next one
is RITUSAHAR written by Kalidas.
