“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” — Marc Riboud.
My stint with photography began while working as an Assistant Marketing manager in Sony digital imaging division. My ADHD mind was an endless reel of visuals; while my bosses worked meticulously with excel sheets that boasted of sales plans and soaring targets. Somehow, I just knew it from within that I had to satisfy the creative urge growing within me. The universe has a funny way of leading you to your calling. Little did I know that learning about different cameras and lenses at Sony (as I had to sell them) was just about to catapult me into the discovery of my creative pursuit i.e. photography.
The decision to take the plunge was not easy. The stability of a 9 to 5 job with a salary that hits the account on the 1st of every month can be very alluring. But what captivated me to leave my comfort zone was the magic I could create from behind the lens. I found the camera to be a useful tool for me to narrate a story without having to use words . In this fast paced world , time flies quickly & moments can pass in a blink of an eye before you could even fully comprehend or even experience it. Pictures brings those fleeting moments to a stand still & lets you relive those moments that you cherish.
