...... I have a dream !!!
“To become a well known celebrity photographer”
It was several years ago when I had to travel to USA as part of my IT career, I first bought a point-and-shoot camera without having any knowledge in photography. I never set out to be a photographer then, but surely it turned to be my most interesting hobby. Being in technology I had the lust to know how things work (from technical perspective) and thatz how I started to learn how to take control of camera, instead of letting the camera control the quality of images. I see it as "Craptacular to Spectacular" revolution of my photography and this forced myself to upgrade my point and shoot cameras several times.
That was just a beginning. Later in 2007 when I relocated to Dubai to pursue my IT career with an aviation company, one of my good friend introduced myself to our photography club. That was my turning point when I noticed that there was so much more out there in photography to learn. I started following world renowned fashion and beauty photographers and was so jealous of every true professional photographers’ work. And that was when I decided I needed to learn more, and started following Creative Live workshops, which I consider as my Guru / University in professional photography. I learnt more about the light dynamics of studio strobes and became more passionate about controlling them and mixing them with ambient light.
Being a people person and influenced by fashion/beauty photographers (Lindsay Adler,Annie Leibovitz,Lara Jade, Frank Doorhoof, Brooke Shaden etc), I am specialized in portraits and fashion photography whilst also developing personal portfolio and teaching workshops. I also spent time in mastering Commercial Beauty retouching in Photoshop. In last few years, I am much influenced by works of Indian Fashion and celebrity photographers like Tarun Khiwal, Daboo Ratnani, Jatin Kampani, Avinash Gowariker etc and it drives my desire to work with Indian celebrities.
Fashion & Portrait photography is all about people and hence it paramount to connect with people, understand them and know the expectations without which taking great picture is not possible. So, If you have a question or comment, feel free to contact me here and will be more than happy to assist you in any way possible for framing the most beautiful moments of you.
Photography is more than a hobby to me and welcome you to be a part of my passion - Photography !!!!
Cheers,
Anoop
