In a line - Im a photographer, a Video film maker, an editor, a sound recordist


with strong IT knowledge, a businessman, now an artist and above all a Human being with Human Values.
Im Able, Capable and Willing to Serve this industry, for a Higher Cause, for a Better World to live in.
Looking Back: How it all started
A Mathamatics Graduate, Self-taught (read as Gods Gifted) photographer and in the profession for over
28 yrs now, brought in the infrastructure which no other photographer dared to and has been successful
in the profession. But some diversification plans which were affected by the strategies that were
brought in by the market leaders also gave an opportunity to grow. However, in my own area of work I
have set standards for others to follow.
Took up Photography as a Profession in 1985 (Dec '84) after graduating in Mathematics.
Started Videos and later a Color labs in the same year,
and in 1994 combined the activities of Photography + video productions + color Lab,
and started Visual Communication in 1994. Later,
the only studio to acquire the first Sinar Large-format Camera System in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Further expanded the activities and started the graphic designing studio,
and in 1997 started a multimedia / graphic designing / Professional studio
for Photography, all under one roof. The latest well equipped studio in AP
Further, in 2004 started undertaking offset printing, label design and production business.
In 2006, installed the first Roland Six color / 12 head technology eco-sol max wide format printer,
with print and cut facility, again the first to be installed in AP.
Inspite of the fact that I do not have qualification in the photography,
I take pride in saying that Im the only photographer on the Osmania University Panel since 1995.
appointed by the Osmania University, as an external examiner and a guest faculty for the BFA,
Dept. of Photography for the final year, final Semester of Large-format photography.
Also, a regular guest faculty at the SV college of Fine Arts, Dept. of Photography.
Has also been appointed at the Bhopal university too, for the Postgraduate courses in mass communication
and mass media communication.
Personal, non-commercial works - Dance / Theatre Photography,
has photographed almost all the Top Dancers and Musicians while performing Live.
Presently, Im working on a new project of setting up a Start-up portal
to cater to the ever growing needs of the photographic Imaging industry in India.
The present expansion plans into the IT industry of photography will put us on a platform where it will be
difficult for others to jump overnight with a similar knowhow, and even if they do so we have experience
and workflow management capabilities which we have acquired by working with the industry leaders here.
The same is impossible with others.
Travelled most of the places in the country, and visited few other countries too in connection with the
profession.
A winner at most of the Photographic competitions,
and a regular face at many National conferences, workshops and photography seminars.
Also a serious Philatelist,
and Won a Silver Bronze Medal in 1983 at the National Level Philatelic competition.

My journey from Janardhan to Sinardhan
My tryst with Sinar started over twenty-seven years ago the first time I looked through the Binocular
reflex magnifier of the Sinar 4x5 during a workshop of the same at IIPC workshop in Delhi. It was at
that moment I knew that my life had now acquired the meaning I sought deep within. A science graduate,
an engineering dropout - it was the quest to acquire my very own Sinar that gave me the much-needed
direction to build my future career as a professional photographer.
Shri Wilas Bhende, who conducted the one-day Sinar demo, was my Guru and also the guiding force
behind the first and only Sinar diploma course, in Bombay(1990), to be conducted outside Switzerland.
This was to commemorate Sinars twenty-five year Indian odyssey. On my enquiry, he wrote to me and
asked me to enrol for the Sinar Diploma course in India as I was planning to study the same in
Switzerland. Finally, in 1995, a little less than a decade after I first laid my eyes on the Sinar camera, my
dream came true. Shri Wilas Bhende was the first photographer to get the Sinar to India and I was the
first to get to the state of Andhra Pradesh, with four lenses and all the major accessories. The then
distributor, helped me through this process and I became the only Sinar large format user in the entire
state.
Graduated to the Sinar digital (P3+SB54H+SinarM) in 2004. I still go down memory lane when my fellow
professionals questioned my decision of risking my investments on this versatile camera system, as the
city in not like other metros in India. However, for me, there was no looking back. This tool (read Sinar)
helped me specialize in multiple areas and take up projects that had varied professional requirements. It
has helped me grow as a photographer; year over year, and it's constant updation has just made my choice
clearer.
I am not trying to promote the Sinar brand or the name as it speaks for itself. These are just my
experiences and at the end of this never-ending fascination for creating that perfect picture everytime,
all I have to say is- If you think it, it can be done.
First Solo Show - (Ganga at Haridwar) Water: Energy in Motion
Energy In Motion, born out of the dynamic interplay of light on flowing water, beautifully showcases the
kinetics of motion on this fluid medium. This masterful depiction of the dance of light on water, a fusion
of two energies (Water & Light) highlights the otherwise dormant energy through vivid digital
photographic imagery. Each picture, with its psychedelic overtones, is truly worth a thousand words.
