About the Artist
I have been interested in photography since childhood. My father worked as a freelance photographer for the local newspapers. I observed his art and learnt it. My family used to spend a lot of weekends camping in a beautiful forest. Thus photography and nature naturally entered my life. I took my first macro shot when I was 10 years old. In those days I used to use an analog camera. After getting married and having children, photography went by the wayside. Most of the time I spent on painting. With the advent of digital photography I have renewed my passion for photography. When a friend from the U.S. sent me a camera I began to engage in macro very seriously.
