About me:
I grew up in a small town in Karnataka near Western ghats. Growing up I would spend a great deal of my time exploring nature in my native village. Photography is something that I started to document my motorcycle tours around the state of Karnataka, India. This endeavor slowly led me to photograph the nature around me, especially after noticing the human-nature conflicts and its effects on the natural world that I called home.
It is this pursuit that started my journey to study the light keenly, to notice its play in manifesting the photographic subjects in unusual ways. As an artist I try to express what I feel through the medium of photography and my images are an attempt to showcase the emotions generated by the play of light at that decisive moment when I made the exposure. Just like the photographic tools (camera and lens), I believe that the photographer's mind (and heart) also becomes a medium through which the light expresses itself and the resulting photograph is a simple representation of a moment in the grand play that the light reveals.
Currently I live in a small town near the foothills of Rocky Mountains, Colorado with my family. The Rocky Mountains are my second home and are also my teachers in this study of light which I believe is a lifelong pursuit. Every moment that I live in the mountains is a meditative experience and helps me learn the ways that the light communicates with the land. As I spend more time outdoors, I try to say less and experience more, as this nature that I witness transcends from a mere photographic subject to a reverential pedagogue and the light being the medium of communication between us.

I hope you enjoy the dance of light that is presented in these images and that they take you on a journey of your own. I wish that these images will inspire you to experience the nature with child like curiosity and appreciate this blue planet that we all call home.
