How did my photography start?

Photography is changing rapidly every day, Camera Gear, Softwares, technology and so on but Art of the composition and grids are still the same. Here you find me how did I started my photography background and what are the aims in the current situation.

Started absolutely with zero-knowledge of photography or in Arts

When I was at the school level, I loved doing drawings and watercolour paintings, not a great artist but sometimes drew portraits of Singers, Celebrities, Bollywood Actors and Actresses. I left my drawings to practice behind once left the school. Later days had an opportunity to use a 35mm SLR Camera, Point & Shoot in my early stages as a hobby.

Beginning of 2013, bought a Nikon D3100 entry-level DSLR camera exclusively for family photo purpose only. I was looking for enhancing quality in portrait photos and ended up buying a Nikon Macro 105mm lens after a lot of tutorials on the Internet.

Days are passing by with family, One day I received a surprising Birthday Gift Nikon D810, which was given to me by my lovely wife afterwards, my photography took off in a high direction. This little black magic box allows me to hide behind it yet focus through it to record that magical moment, leading me on, compelling me to grab the image and capture the next one.

Internet is the theGuru for photography

In the beginnings of the photography study, I have spent a good time on YouTube, Websites, Magazines and some photography forums. The amount of information is quite huge from camera technology, photography techniques and some good photography secrets. Although very hard to produce a good quality photograph of artwork particularly niche and own styles of imaginary production.

Influencers in my photography journey

Increasing internet presence of new websites about photography, changing advance technologies, choices of camera gears and try to standouts from the crowd need some inspiration, motivation and knowledge which I get from various Writers, Youtubers and websites.

Here are some popular photographers on YouTube:
