Photography as a profession is still not considered as a noble profession. But if you look at this profession closely, you will come to know its importance and earnings you can make with it.

My educational qualifications include M.Com and LLB. The reason I am inclined towards photography is that I always wanted to do something which would be different from the leak. I wanted to do something creative. Photography was my family business. I used to observe it minutely and I concluded that new techniques were required to stay ahead in the competition.

Thus, I created an interest in photography. It took me almost two and a half years to learn the skills of photography. There are different categories of photography like wildlife photography, wedding photography. I am specialised in wedding photography which requires skills like the right mixing of light.
