Please call me at your earliest convenience. I have also worked as a Freelance Photographer for Magazine and Content Creator for some travel and mobile companies; this gave me the experience and ability to realize and capture compositions, showing the world what the human eye can sometimes not see. I took fancy to a camera when I first traveled to Europe. From just capturing the beautiful architecture of Rome and the vast landscape of Italy, I became fascinated with how powerful images can do to my mental well-being. I became passionate not only about taking pictures of my experiences but also falling in love with the whole process of learning composition and telling stories through photographs. As my passion for photography grows, I enrolled in a photography course at International Career Institute, a distance learning. The training further helped in getting acquainted with the sense of composition, playing with colors, understanding the difference between black and white and colored images, familiarizing myself with photo-editing tools and software, using light to the best of my advantage, experimenting with different angles while shooting landscape photographs, and much more. Understanding that a photographer nowadays needs to have a technical hold on things, I am comfortable operating photography equipment and related software that is used to process quality photographs i.e. Photoshop, Lightroom, and InDesign. Owing to my passion, I work continuously to learn new things to make my work professional.
