About Me:
I am a photographer based out of India. My passion lies in capturing images of people I’m intrigued by—their faces, the stories behind them, their lifestyles, cultures, and traditions. I like endlessly roaming around the streets, wherever I go, and spend time learning and understanding my subjects. Also, as is apparent from my blog, I do have a soft corner for portraits and images in black and white! If you would like to work with me for assignments and commissioned works, get in touch with me here.
About This Photoblog:
On August 1, 2008 I started this photoblog to showcase the images of people that I shoot and creating images for this photoblog has always been an exciting and fulfilling challenge. As a mark of my fondness for black and white, this site uses only different shades of grey for all its elements.

Collaboration with Leverage Edu | Course on Photography
Hello Joshi Daniel, I am reaching out to you on behalf of Leverage Edu. (Link to our website: https://leverageedu.com/). We are looking to collaborate with exciting creators on our app, Untangled Careers.
ABOUT US
With the Untangled app, we aim to create a great number of career-oriented sachet courses that are informative, innovative, and user-friendly. Our agenda is to give people the key to “How to Careers”. We wish to untangle the huge and overwhelming experience of building a career by providing accessible information about diverse career opportunities available across vocations, industries, and streams. With the rise of social media, access to the internet, and changing motivations, there has been an enormous increase in career opportunities in fields like Music, Fashion, Photography, Cooking, Literature, Travel, Science, Sports, and so on. Despite the rise in opportunities, many of us do not get adequate guidance or the help of resource persons. We aim at creating courses with professional individuals, influencers & personalities who would like to contribute their knowledge & experience with respect to their profession and inspire others to opt for a career. Our aim is to provide a platform where aspiring individuals and industry veterans can come together and build career ladders.
COLLABORATION PROPOSAL
I would like to propose a business proposition to collaborate with us in creating a course with respect to the field of Photography. We would like to discuss and build courses and videos on your area of expertise. We can collaborate to create sachet courses on different topics, professional opportunities, and career obstacles related to Photography across themes, locations, etc. This proposition gives you a chance to build your brand, become a mentor to the masses, and make a good monetary surplus by hosting a course on our platform. If you are interested, we can get in touch and discuss the details in depth regarding the same. We can deliberate and get a better understanding of the project and collaboration. Looking forward to hearing back from you on the same.
