"For a few moments I request you to detach from yourself and imagine peaking in the camera capturing the images presented here. Let the imagination stray a bit as you see around and decide to freeze the moment? What piqued you to click the shutter at this moment and this frame. What did you see that you decided to freeze for an lifetime?"

Photography

Framing worldviews

Photography helps me to appreciate and train my eye to nuances of human life in the built environment. Critically making photographs has allowed me to capture ideas and idiosyncracies of the places I have visited. By photographing, new ideas 'emerge'. Through the camera, there is a possibility for the visual to elevate to the realm of thought and experience. These ideas captured through photographs have often found ways into creating unique designs. Abstract ideas like chaos and silence are captured through photographs which become design priorities on the table. These practice helps to generate new ideas for creating unique built environments of the future.

There are two fundamental parts of a good photograph (according to me): The Idea and the Visual. It strongly resonates with architecture where the idea relates to social impact and strategies of design while The visual of photograph resonates to articulation and manifestation of Design. Photography thus sharpens my intellect on one hand and on other the skill of making.
