"One of my cousins presented me with a camera when I was in my seventh class and I casually clicked some photos that were appreciated by all, and that was the seeding of a photographer in me.
Later, when I joined the five-year diploma course in commercial art, I came across Raja Triambak Raj Bahadur, a pioneer in pictorial photography.
He drew inspiration from Raja Triambak Raj Bahadur, the first from former Andhra Pradesh to be honored with the status of Associate of Britain's Royal Photographic Society.
He later worked as a scientific photographer in International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics.
Apart from winning national and international awards, he is the only Fellow of Royal Photographic Society from AP.
