“Photographic Journey: Chasing Light”
Background Story of my photographic Journey
My photographic journey began in the stunning landscapes of Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan, India, guided by my sister, Taral Patel. As an expert photographer and designer, she ignited my passion for capturing moments.
After that trip, I didn’t have many opportunities to learn directly from her. However, I turned to YouTube videos and Instagram photographers, diving into the world of nature and landscape photography. Inspired by these resources, I challenged myself to a 35-day project, learning a new concept each day and capturing it through my lens. This project greatly improved my skills.
Learning Curve
In 2022, I moved to Canada, where I met Aaryan Patel in 2023. He introduced me to product photography, which was initially challenging. With practice and guidance, I mastered it and also learned videography of natural scenes and products. This experience broadened my photographic expertise.
Evolution of Skills
Facing various challenges, each one helped me grow. Thanks to my mentors and the community of photography enthusiasts, I enriched my journey. My love for photography expanded to include not only nature but also the technical aspects of product photography.
Engaging with the Photography Community
Engaging with the photographic community played a crucial role in my development. By participating in local photography clubs and online forums, I was able to receive constructive feedbacks and share my work with a broader audience. This interaction not only improved my skills but also provide a sense of belonging and motivations.
Capturing Moments
Certain moments shimmer like stars in the night sky, each with its unique magic. The serenity of a sunrise over the Aravalli hills, the symphony of colors during sunset – these are the scenes that stir my soul and inspire the heart.
Conclusion
Ansel Adams said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Every photo I take is a tribute to the beauty around us and the fleeting moments of life. My journey continues, driven by a passion for capturing life’s essence through my lens, connecting hearts and minds across the world.
